Field Marshal Hugh Henry Rose, 1st Baron Strathnairn, was a senior British Army officer. He served as a military adviser to the Ottoman Army during the Egyptian–Ottoman War. He then fought with the French Army during the Crimean War. Served in Indian 1857-8. He went on to be Commander of the Bombay Army, Commander-in-Chief, India and then Commander-in-Chief, Ireland.
There is some confusion over where Rose was born. His father was a diplomatist in Berlin and some sources have Rose born there but the ODNB suggests that his father was taking a break from the diplomatic corps during the years around 1801.
Never married and had no children. In retirement he lived at Newsells Park in Hertfordshire. Rose was keen on horses and had an obelisk erected there in memory of his favourite charger which he had ridden during the Indian Rebellion. Died Paris.
