[Identified by Russell Barker and Stenning as “ ; Captain. Saint Leger” in Regimente de RothRuth’s Regt., i.e. in French Army, who ; served with French army in War of Austrian Succession, and who was killed at battle of Fontenoy ; killed in action near Tournai, Flanders 11 May11 May 1745, but it seems most unlikely that St Leger would have been fighting on the French side only fifteen months after he had matriculated at Trinity College, Dublin. Lodge, Peerage of Ireland, 1789, vol.vi, 120, describes Arthur St Leger as “a volunteer” and that he “died 2 July 1747 N.S. of the wounds he received in the battle of Val [i.e. battle of Lauffeld]”. Note however that Arthur Murphy, Life of David Garrick, p.73, mentions “Mr Arthur St.Leger, a young man of promising genius, who went soon after into the army, and was killed at the battle of Fontenoy” ; this certainly suggests that this Arthur St Leger was fighting on the English side at Fontenoy].
