Military career

Marsh commanded the 43rd Regiment of Foot at Rhode Island in 1776 during the American Revolutionary War.[1] He remained in that post until October 1787[2] when he was asked to raise the 77th (Hindoostan) Regiment of Foot.[3] He was promoted to major-general on 18 October 1793,[4] to lieutenant-general on 9 January 1798[5] and to full general on 25 September 1803.[6]

He served as colonel of the 77th Regiment of Foot from 1787 until his death in 1804.[3]
