George Boscawen (British Army general)

Believed to have been educated at Eton College, he was commissioned as an ensign in the First Foot Guards in 1728, and promoted to captain in 1738.[1] He saw active service during the War of the Austrian Succession, distinguishing himself at the battles of Fontenoy and Dettingen.[4] He was promoted to the rank of colonel on 18 August 1749, and appointed as Aide-de-camp to King George II on 14 October the same year.This constituency was controlled by his brother, Lord Falmouth, and generally returned members of the Boscawen family.[7] Boscawen would sit for Truro until the election of 1774, when he would leave parliament to be replaced by his son George.
