Westmeath. Bn. 16th Feb., 1778. Educated at Christ’s Hospital and Winchester College. Ensign 20th Foot, 1794. Served in Egypt and at the battle of Maida. Was military sec. to Sir John Moore. Commanded a brigade in Portugal, Spain, and France (gold cross and three clasps). “Of his own accord he led the forward movement at Waterloo which determined the fortune of the day. When the column of the Imperial Guard was gaining the summit of the British position, and was forcing back one of the companies of the 95th, Colborne, seeing his left endangered, started the 52nd on its advance. Wellington saw the movement, and instantly sent to desire him to continue it.” Col. Chesney, the able author of Waterloo Lectures in commenting on the steadfast manner in which the British Guards faced the advancing Imperial Guards on the summit of the hill, says: “While on their left, Colborne, peerless among all the brave men who led Wellington’s battalions, coolly formed in line the 52nd, and without other prompting than that of his own genius for battle, advanced against their flank.” Created Baron Seaton, of Seaton, Devon, 14th Dec., 1839. F.-M. in 1860. M. 21st June, 1814, Eliz., eld. dau. of Rev. James Yonge, rector of Newton Ferrers, and had issue. D. 17th April, 1863.
