Albert Henry Andrew Hervey

1814–1877

Albert Henry Andrew Hervey entered East India Company military service as a young man and joined the 40th Madras Native Infantry in the 1830s. His career in the Madras Army ultimately lasted more than four decades, and he reached the rank of major-general in 1874.
