Lord Cornwallis
Charles Cornwallis was the British commander in the Southern colonies. He served in the military from 1757 to 1805, reaching the rank of Lieutenant General.
As of October 2023, the commander of British troops in the colonies historically refers to the position held during the American Revolutionary period, notably by General Thomas Gage. However, the title and role have changed over time depending on the colonial context. For current information, it would be necessary to specify which colonies or regions are being referred to, as the British Empire no longer maintains colonies in the same way it did in the 18th century.
