David Ochterlony
Sir David Ochterlony (1758–1825) was a Boston-born general of the British East India Company. In the Anglo-Nepalese War of 1814–1816 he was the most successful British commander, forcing Amar Singh Thapa to surrender in 1815 and advancing towards Kathmandu in 1816, which led Nepal to ratify the Treaty of Sugauli. He later served as Resident at Delhi, and a monument to him stands in Kolkata.
