Henry Hawley (circa 1679-1759) was an English army officer who fought at Dettingen and Fontenoy before becoming most significantly Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in Scotland in December 1745 at the time of the Jacobite Rebellion. Despite his severe defeat at Falkirk Hawley continued to serve under the Duke of Cumberland at the Battle of Culloden the following year in which he led the cavalry. Following the 'Forty-Five he accompanied Cumberland to the Low Countries and while the General's reputation has been less favoured among his enemies, it remained to be held in high esteem with the Duke and his father, George II, for the remainder of his career.
