“Second son of Sergt.-Major Wm. Anderson of the 21st Fusiliers. Born in camp at Tayantroga, America, 4th July, 1777, and bapt. 28th Aug. same year. On the return of the 21st to Scotland the sergt.-major was discharged with a pension and settled at his native city, Glasgow. Gen. James Inglis Hamilton, the colonel of the 21st, who was a Lanarkshire man, being on a visit to Glasgow some years later, happened to meet his former sergt.-major and gave him money for educational purposes. Later on he took little James Anderson to his family seat at Murdestoun and introduced him to his maiden sister Miss Christina Hamilton. The general and his sister educated James Anderson and his brothers at Glasgow Grammar School. Through his patron’s army interest James Anderson was appointed Cornet in the Scots Greys at the age of fifteen under the name of James Inglis Hamilton. (_Old Reminiscences of Glasgow_, Vol. I.) Lieut. 4th Oct. 1793. Capt. 15th April, 1794. Major 17th Feb., 1803. Lt.-Col. 16th June, 1807. Bt.-Col. 4th June, 1814. Col. Hamilton had both arms cut off in the charge at Waterloo, and he snatched the reins with his mouth (Col. Clerke’s letter to the Misses Anderson). Hamilton’s body was found on the field—shot through the heart in addition to other wounds, and rifled. His trusty sword was gone, but the scabbard and silken sash remained. These relics were transmitted to Lieut. Jno. Anderson, the colonel’s brother, who d. at Glasgow 3rd Dec., 1816, from wounds recd. at Salamanca. The Treasury remitted £200 to the Misses Anderson in Dec., 1829; and the Waterloo Fund gave a pension to Col. Hamilton’s widow (_née_ Clerke), who was an English lady.”
