==Background==
Creagh was born in Cahirbane, [[County Clare]], on 2 April 1848, the seventh [https://books.google.com/books?id=vjsJAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA312&lpg=PA312&dq=Captain+James+Creagh+RN&source=bl&ots=F5d3g6Vzp8&sig=otdzL4uaebkvpdbv6q6ohlFjdBc&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi-3cKSq_nMAhVL62MKHXJYAGkQ6AEIIjAB#v=onepage&q=Captain%20James%20Creagh%20RN&f=false] son of [[Captain (Royal Navy)|Captain]] James Creagh, [[Royal Navy|RN]], and his wife, Grace O'Moore.

Creagh was married twice, firstly to Mary Longfield (or possibly Brereton) in 1874, who died in 1876, and then to Elizabeth Reade in 1891. He had three children, one of whom was Major General [[Michael O'Moore Creagh|Sir Michael Creagh]].

In 1866, after training at the [[Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst|Royal Military College, Sandhurst]], Creagh was commissioned into the [[95th (Derbyshire) Regiment of Foot]] and in 1869 was posted to [[India]], being transferred to the [[British Indian Army]] the next year.

==Second Anglo-Afghan War==
Creagh was 31 years old, and a [[Captain (British Army and Royal Marines)|captain]] in the [[Bombay Staff Corps]] during the [[Second Anglo-Afghan War]], when the following deed on 22 April 1879 at Kam Dakka, on the Kabul River, [[Afghanistan]], took place for which he was awarded the VC:
{{Quote|On the 21st April Captain Creagh was detached from Dakka with two Companies of his Battalion to protect the village of Kam Dakka on the Cabul River, against a threatened incursion of the Mohmunds, and reached that place the same night. On the following morning the detachment, 150 men, was attacked by the Mohmunds in overwhelming numbers, about 1,500; and the inhabitants of Kam Dakka having themselves taken part with the enemy, Captain Creagh found himself under the necessity of retiring from the village. He took up a position in a cemetery not far off, which he made as defensible as circumstances would admit of, and this position he held against all the efforts of the enemy, repeatedly repulsing them with the bayonet until three o'clock in the afternoon, when he was relieved by a detachment sent for the purpose from Dakka. The enemy were then finally repulsed, and being charged by a troop of the 10th Bengal Lancers, under the command of Captain D. M. Strong, were routed and broken, and great numbers of them driven into the river. The Commander-in-Chief in India has expressed his opinion that but for the coolness, determination, and gallantry of the highest order, and the admirable conduct which Captain Creagh displayed on this occasion the detachment under his command would, in all probability, have been cut off and destroyed.<ref>{{London Gazette|issue=24784|page=6494|date=18 November 1879}}</ref>}}

==Later career==
In 1878 he became [[Captain (British Army and Royal Marines)|captain]] of the Merwara [[battalion]], commanding them from 1882 until 1886.
