Sir Charles Wale KCB (16 August 1765 – 20 March 1845) was an English General and the last British governor of Martinique between about 1812 and 1815.[1] On 25 February 1831 he was appointed Colonel of the 33rd Regiment of Foot[2] and was given the governorship in recognition of his role in the capture of Guadeloupe from the French in 1810. He was later knighted for his service.[3]
