Andrew Rollo, 5th Lord Rollo

Andrew Rollo, 5th Lord Rollo, (18 November 1703 – 20 June 1765) was a Scottish army commander in Canada and Dominica during the Seven Years' War, who led the British land forces in the Capture of Dominica on 6 June 1761.

He was commissioned into the army at the age of forty in order to fight during the War of the Austrian Succession.

He fought at the Battle of Dettingen in 1743, being promoted to Major in June 1750, and by 1756 he commanded the 22nd Regiment of Foot.

He led the Île Saint-Jean Campaign, which resulted in the capture of Prince Edward Island in 1758 and deportation of the French Acadians there.

After the capture, he was made Commander-in-Chief of Dominica before the island was definitely ceded to Britain by the terms of the Treaty of Paris in 1763.
