Stransham led the Royal Marines during the First Battle of Canton in the First Opium War on 18 March 1841.[2] He was wounded and promoted to captain.[3] He was awarded the Baltic Medal, having been with Charles John Napier in 1854. From 1862 to 1867, General Stransham was Inspector-General of the Royal Marines.[4] Later in his career, as a general, the "Grand Old Man of the Army" became a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath.[5] He saw active service for over 53 years, retiring with the rank of general on 24 December 1875.[6] References1. ^https://theroyalmarinescharity.org.uk/library/static/media/globe-laurel-marapr-1982-1.pdf {{DEFAULTSORT:Stransham, Anthony Blaxland}}2. ^{{London Gazette|issue=19984|page=1429|date=3 June 1841}} 3. ^{{London Gazette|issue=20071|page=402|date=15 February 1842}} 4. ^{{London Gazette|issue=23210|page=319|date=16 January 1867}} 5. ^{{London Gazette|issue=26947|page=1681|date=14 March 1898}} 6. ^{{London Gazette|issue=24286|page=256|date=21 January 1876}} 7 : 1805 births|1900 deaths|British military personnel of the First Opium War|Knights Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath|British people of the Greek War of Independence|Royal Marines generals|Royal Navy personnel of the Crimean War |
