HAVELOCK, SIR HENRY: English general; b. at Bishop Wearmouth (12 m. n. e. of Durham) Apr. 5, 1795; d. at Lucknow, India, Nov. 24, 1857. He was educated at the Charterhouse, London, and entered the Middle Temple in 1813 as the pupil of Joseph Chitty. In 1815 he entered the army as second lieutenant, and after eight years of service in Great Britain went to India in 1823. During the voyage he experienced strong religious conviction, and determined to lead a Christian life. Through out his long and distinguished military career in India it was his custom to call his men together for frequent devotional services. He took an active interest in missions, and joined the Baptist Church. He served in the war against Burma 1824-26, in the first Afghan war, 1838-12, in the first Sikh war, 1845-46, commanded a division of the army that invaded Persia in 1856, and particularly distin guished himself during the Indian Mutiny of 1857. By a series of brilliant victories he made himself the " hero of Lucknow "; but five days after the relief of the city he died of dysentery, brought on by overexertion. Before the news of his death had been received in England he was created major general and baronet, and by Parliament granted a pension of a thousand pounds. He published Mem oir of Three Campaigns (Serampore, 1828); and Narrative of the War in Afghanistan (2 vols., London, 1840).
