# Charles Grey, 1st Earl Grey

> Lieutenant-General Charles Grey, 1st Earl Grey, was a British Army officer and colonial administrator. He served in the American War of Independence, rising to Commander-in-Chief, North America. Following the Battle of Paoli in 1777, Grey became known as "No-Flint Grey" for reportedly ordering his men to extract the flints from their muskets during a night approach and to fight with bayonets only. In 1782, he was promoted to lieutenant general and appointed as Commander-in-Chief, North America. Grey subsequently served in the French Revolutionary Wars, leading the capture of Martinique and Guadeloupe in 1794. He served as the governor of Guernsey from 1797 until his death in 1807.
