From Wiki: Major General Thomas Staunton St Clair CB KH (1785–1847) was a Scottish officer in the British Army known for his water-colour paintings which recorded British colonies in Gibraltar. In 1806 he was posted to the West Indies as an ensign in the Royal Scots. In 1820, St. Clair returned to the Rock of Gibraltar as one of the senior officers in command of the garrison at the age of just 36. In 1832 he was sent to Malta and in 1834 he published his autobiographical book A Soldiers Recollections of the West Indies and America. This included an account of his journey to Stabroek aboard HMS Brilliant that arrived early in 1806 and left him in South America until his return in June 1808.
