During the time of the French And Indian War , Hodgson served as the correspondent of William Wildman Barrington , who was the Secretary At War starting in 1755 . A year later, Hodgson formed a new regiment, the 52nd (later 50th) of Foot, and the Royal West Kent Regiment . He was a Major General in 1761 , and participated in the April 7 campaign to capture Bell Isle , off the coast of France , while commanding a force consisting mainly of the 67th Regiment of Foot. This was probably one his more famous campaigns, and he became a field marshal on July 30 , 1796 , a few years before his death. |
