The Lord-lieutenant was Lord Cornwallis - he of the surrender at Yorktown in the American rebellion. Cornwallis regarded Johnson as bit of a blockhead because he had been surprised by 'mad' Anthony Wayne in that war when in command of the 17th Foot at Stony Point. Johnson died in Bath in 1835. There is a memorial to him in Bath Abbey - just to the right on entering the nave. Johnson was a very brave man, and New Ross was a victory because of his courage.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15250531160126353466noreply@blogger.com
