A Scottish landowner, Thomas Graham began his military career late in life. His wife Mary’s poor health led the couple to live mainly abroad in warmer climates until her death in 1791. However, her coffin was callously opened and searched by French revolutionary authorities, causing Graham to develop a passionate francophobia. He volunteered for the operations against the French at Toulon in 1793. The following year he raised the 1st Battalion of the 90th Regiment of Foot (or Perthshire Volunteers). From 1794–1807, he was also returned as the Member of Parliament for Perth. Graham saw extensive service with the Austrian Army fighting against the French. He then served with the British Army, notably in the Peninsular War where in 1811 he led the victory over the French at Barrosa.
