British officer Thomas Musgrave was made a Lieutenant Colonel of the 40th Regiment on August 28, 1776, only about eight weeks before serving in the Battle of Pelham on October 18, 1776.  He is, perhaps, the most well-known of the combatants who was wounded during the Battle of Pelham.  Indeed, I have written about Thomas Musgrave before.  See:

Below is a rather rare image of Thomas Musgrave, shown shortly after the end of the Revolutionary War.  The image was engraved in about 1797 from a painting created in 1786.
