Robert Cannon (12 January 1811 – 5 April 1882), also known as Behram Pasha (Turkish: Behram Paşa),^[1] was an accomplished British lieutenant general of Scottish descent. His military service started in company-ruled India, taking him to Spain and then the Ottoman Empire. He is known for his actions in the Crimean War where he served as a lieutenant general in the Ottoman army, especially in the Silistra Eyalet where he was said to have "inflicted upon the Russians the most profound humiliation which they had experienced during the whole war".^[2]
