John Ross (British Army officer, died 1843)

Lieutenant-General John Ross CB (died 17 May 1843) was a British Army officer who became Lieutenant Governor of Guernsey.

[4] On 28 January 1808, Ross purchased a lieutenant-colonelcy in the 91st Regiment of Foot,[5] but exchanged back into the 52nd on 18 February 1808.

Ross subsequently returned to the Peninsula to command the 1/52nd, with whom he fought at Pombal, Redinha, Casal Novo, Foz d'Arunce, Sabugal, and Fuentes de Oñoro, during Masséna's retreat from Portugal in the spring of 1811.

[8] After serving as Deputy Adjutant-General in Ireland from 1815 to 1818, Ross was made Commandant of the Depot on the Isle of Wight in 1819,[9] and went on half-pay in 1820.

[1][12] He is not to be confused with Major-General Sir John Ross, KCB, of the 95th Regiment and Cape Corps, who died in 1835.
