Richard Ingoldsby (British Army officer, died 1759)
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Richard_Ingoldsby_(British_Army_officer,_died_1759) an entity of type: Thing
Richard Ingoldsby (1690-1759) was a professional soldier in the British Army from 1707 to 1745, who reached the rank of Brigadier-General. He served in Flanders during the War of the Austrian Succession and court-martialled after the Fontenoy in May 1745, allegedly for failing to carry out his orders. Ingoldsby felt he was taking the blame for mistakes made by the 24 year old Duke of Cumberland and the evidence supported his claim to have received inconsistent orders. However, his contemporaries considered this an inadequate excuse; the court concluded his failure arose 'from an error of judgement, and not from want of courage' but he was forced out of the army.
