Studholme Hodgson

Studholme Hodgson

Studholme Hodgson (1708 - October 20, 1798) was a British field marshal during the 18th century.

During the time of the French and Indian War, Hodgson served as the correspondent of William Wildman Barrington, who was the Secretary at War starting in 1755. A year later, Hodgson formed a new regiment, the 52nd (later 50th) of Foot, and the Royal West Kent Regiment. He was a Major General in 1761, and participated in the April 7 campaign to capture Bell Isle, off the coast of France, while commanding a force consisting mainly of the 67th Regiment of Foot. This was probably one his more famous campaigns, and he became a field marshal on July 30, 1796, a few years before his death.
