Brigadier General '''John Adam Tytler''' [[Victoria Cross|VC]] [[Order of the Bath|CB]] (29 October 1825 – 14 February 1880) was a recipient of the [[Victoria Cross]], the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to [[United Kingdom|British]] and [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]] forces.

==Details==
He was born in [[Munger]], the son of [[John Tytler (surgeon)|John Tytler]], an [[East India Company]] surgeon.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Shadbolt |first1=Sidney H. |title=Afghan Campaigns of 1878, 1880: Biographical Division |date=2012 |publisher=Andrews UK Limited |isbn=9781781504352 |page=223 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Sma-BAAAQBAJ&pg=PA223 |language=en}}</ref>

Tytler was 22 years old, and a [[lieutenant]] in the [[66th Bengal Native Infantry]], [[Bengal Army]], (later [[1st Gurkha Rifles]]) during the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]] when the following deed took place on 10 February 1858 at Choorpoorah, [[India]] for which he was awarded the VC:
{{quote|On the attacking parties approaching the enemy's position under a heavy fire of round shot, grape, and musketry, on the occasion of the action at Choorpoorah, on the 10th February last, Lieutenant Tytler dashed on horseback ahead of all, and alone, up to the enemy's guns, where he remained engaged hand to hand, until they were carried by us; and where he was shot through the left arm, had a spear wound in his chest, and a ball through the right sleeve of his coat.

(Letter from Captain C. C. G. Ross, Commanding 66th (Goorkha) Regiment, to Captain Brownlow, Major of Brigade, Kemaon Field Force.)<ref>{{London Gazette|issue=22176|page=3903|date=24 August 1858}}</ref>}}

==Further information==
He later served in the [[Umbeyla Campaign]] and retired with the rank of [[brigadier general]]. His Victoria Cross is displayed at [[The Gurkha Museum]] in Winchester, Hampshire, England.
