Charles Rawden Maclean
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Rawden Maclean, also known as "John Ross", was born on 17 August 1815[lower-alpha 1] in Fraserburgh and died 13 August 1880 at sea on the RMS Larne while en route to Southampton.[6] In a tribute to him during the re-dedication of his grave in Southampton in 2009, the Zulu War author and broadcaster Ian Knight said:
Maclean was a champion of liberty and his stone will be one of the few inscriptions in a British cemetery which commemorates a positive interaction between the British and Zulu people; most existing memorials commemorate individuals who were involved in Anglo-Zulu conflict.[7]
