What is recorded here

Ulysses de Burgh, 2nd Baron Downes is a birthplace in County Dublin, Ireland. Perhaps a boy born in 1788 ran barefoot through Dublin dirt before becoming a general. Maybe he remembered the smell of that air when he gave orders in foreign wars. Imagine the county giving one man two lives: childhood and command.

Why this person is known: British Army general and politician (1788–1864)
