Early lifeCochrane was the second but eldest surviving son of Thomas Cochrane, 11th Earl of Dundonald, by Louisa Harriet Mackinnon, daughter of William Alexander Mackinnon. Thomas Cochrane, 1st Baron Cochrane of Cults, was his younger brother.[1] He was educated at Eton College.[2] Military careerCochrane was commissioned into the Life Guards in July 1870,[3] and was promoted to lieutenant the following year and captain in 1878.[4] He served in the Nile Expedition,[3] the Desert March and the Relief of Khartoum in 1885.[4] He was appointed Commanding Officer of 2nd Life Guards in 1895.[3] He served in the Second Boer War and in November 1899 he was appointed Commander of the Mounted Brigade, part of the South Natal Field Force.[3] He took part in the Relief of Ladysmith in February 1900,[3] although his South African troops, unimpressed by his leadership, referred to him as "Dundoodle".[5] In April 1902, it was announced that Lord Dundonald would be appointed General Officer Commanding the Militia of Canada,[6] the senior military officer in Canada. He left Liverpool on 15 July,[7] and arrived in Quebec and Ottawa later the same month to take up his position.[8] Lady Dundonald joined him in Ottawa, where they stayed in Crichton-lodge. He served in Canada for two years.[3] He later served in the First World War as Chairman of the Admiralty Committee on Smoke Screens in 1915.[3] Lord Dundonald was appointed a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO) in December 1901,[9] and in June 1907 knighted as a Knight Commander (KCVO) of the order. Dundonald Park, in Centretown, Ottawa, is named after him. FamilyLord Dundonald married Winifred Bamford-Hesketh, daughter of Robert Bamford-Hesketh, in 1878. They had two sons and three daughters. The family lived for many years at Gwrych Castle in North Wales, the seat of the Bamford-Hesketh family. The Countess of Dundonald did not accompany her husband to Canada. She died in January 1924. Lord Dundonald died at his home in Wimbledon in April 1935, aged 82, and was succeeded in the earldom by his eldest son, Thomas.[1] He is buried in Achnaba Churchyard, Ardchattan near Benderloch, Lorne, Argyll & Bute.
