| rdfs:comment | - When Hornblower dined at Governor's House in Gibraltar, as the guests were served Malaga, the comment that 'Old Hare bought a job lot in '95, 'Old Hare' likely refers to General Charles O'Hara who was Governor from 1795 to 1802. However, this dinner would have occurred during his tenure, but, the conversation seems to indicate a number of Governors since O'Hara.
- Charles O'Hara was born in Lisbon, Portugal, the illegitimate son of General James O'Hara and his Portuguese mistress. Charles was sent to Westminster School. On 23 December 1752, at the age of twelve—a young but not uncommon age for a subaltern of the era—he became a cornet in the 3rd Dragoons. He became a lieutenant in the 2nd Regiment of the Coldstream Guards on 14 January 1756 shortly before major warfare broke out in Europe.
