William Monson (1760-1807) received a commission into the 52nd Regiment of Infantry in 1780 with which he proceeded to India. He became Captain on 5th August 1785 and took part in the Battle against Tipu Sultan of Mysore. He commanded a Light Company which successfully attacked the southern entrenchment of Seringapatam on 22nd February 1792. Monson remained in India after the peace and became Major in 1795. Two years later he exchanged into the 76th regiment where he became Lieutenant General. In 1803 he was appointed to the command of the first Infantry Brigade at the outbreak of the Mahratta war. He led the storming party at Allyghur on 4th September 1803 where he was severely wounded and incapacitated from field duty for six months. In 1804 he led a force of four thousand natives to keep watch on Jeswunt Rao Holkar who was threatening the British ally the Rajah of Jeypore. When Holkar broke camp and retreated Southwards Monson pursued him against the orders of Lord Lake with the intention of alarming Holkar and disbanding his army. This failed and in the forced retreat the cavalry was annihilated. Monson managed to escape with his infantry but attacks on his force continued and he arrived in Agra on 29th August with only a few hundred of the original force. In spite of this defeat he was again employed by Lake in the final operations against Holkar in Northern India. He acted as second in command to General Fraser on 21st February 1805 and became the chief command when his superior was wounded, from which position Monson wrote a report of the victory to Lord Wellesley. In 1806 he returned to England where he entered parliament and died in Bath the following year. ++
