  Robert Ross (general) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Ross (1766 - September 12, 1814) was a British army officer who participated in the Napoleonic War and the War of 1812.
Ross was born in Rostrevor, County Down, (now Northern Ireland) to Maj. David Ross, an officer in the Seven Years War and his mother was half-sister to the Earl of Charlesmont.
Ross personally led the British troops in the attack on the Americans at the Battle of Bladensburg on August 24, 1814, where the American army quickly collapsed.

 ROBERT ROSS - LoveToKnow Article on ROBERT ROSS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In 18089 Ross and the 20th formed part of Anstruthers brigade of Sir John Moores army in Spain, and though the statement that the 20th, owing to its good discipline, suffered less loss than any other regiment in the retreat on Corunna is incorrect, the regiment was among the best disciplined in the army.
Ross and his regiment were then sent to Ireland to recover, and here the colonel repeated the course of drill and maniruvre which had so markedly improved the 20th in Malta.
At the end of the war Ross was sent in command of a brigade to harry the coast of North America, and with 4500 men and three light guns landed in Maryland.

Ross opposes Wilde's plan to dedicate the poem to personal friends because such a gesture would encourage undue speculation about the friend(s) and detract from the work itself.

With regard to the evidence presented at the summary judgment stage, Ross admitted that, as acting foreman, he was responsible for the safety of himself and his workers, and that Hill Mechanical implemented weekly safety meetings or "toolbox" talks conducted by the foreman.
