INGLIS, SIR WILLIAM (1764-1835), British general, born in 1764, entered the army in 1781. After ten years in America he served in Flanders, taking part in the capture of St. Lucia. In 1809 he commanded a brigade in the Peninsula, taking part in the battle of Busaco (181 o) and the first siege of Badajoz. At Albuera his regiment, the 57th, occupied a most important position, exposed to a deadly fire. "Die hard! Fifty seventh," cried Inglis, "Die hard!" The regiment's answer has gone down to history. Out of a total strength of 579, 23 officers and 415 rank and file were killed and wounded. Inglis himself was wounded. On recovering, he saw further Peninsular service. He died at Ramsgate on Nov. 29, 1835.
