Major General John Abercrombie (1772-1817) was made Commander-in-Chief of the Bombay Army in 1809, and a year later lead the expedition that captured Mauritius from the French in 1810. Mauritius had become a base for the French corsairs which harassed British commercial vessels travelling to and from India, and capturing it was a small but important strategic victory in the larger context of British naval domination during the Napoleonic wars.
