Thomas Graham started his military career late in life, at the age of 45. However, he went on to become one of the Duke of Wellington's most trusted generals in the Peninsula War. His greatest victory was achieved at the Battle of Barossa in Spain in 1811. Although he only wears the large Army gold medal for Barossa and the Bath Star in this portrait, Graham was awarded the Army Gold Cross for Ciudad Rodrigo, Barossa, Vittoria and San Sebastian; and the large Army gold medal for Barossa, with clasps for Vittoria and Ciudad Rodrigo. In 1814, Graham took command of a British force sent to Holland. On his return home, Graham received the thanks of Parliament and was created Baron Lynedoch.
