  • السير إدوارد نيكولس، (1779-5 فبراير 1865) ضابط أنجلو-إيرلندي في مشاة البحرية الملكية. تمتع خلال حياته بمهنة عسكرية مميزة، وبحسب ما جاء في نعيه في صحيفة التايمز، (خاض ما لا يقل عن 107 معركة، في أنحاء مختلفة من العالم، كُسرت ساقه اليسرى، وأُصيبت ساقه اليمنى بجروح بالغة، وأصيب بطلق ناري في جسده وذراعه الأيمن، أصيب بجرح شديد في رأسه، وطُعن في صدره، وفقد أحد عينيه). وُلد نيكولس في كوليرين بأيرلندا في عائلة ذات تقاليد عسكرية. قضى حياته بصفته بروتستانتي شديد التقوى. التحق بالبحرية الملكية في سن 11 عامًا بعد أن درس عامين في المدرسة في غرينتش، خلال الحروب النابليونية والصراعات المرتبطة بها في منطقة البحر الكاريبي والبحر الأبيض المتوسط وبحر الشمال، شغل منصب قائد السفن، واكتسب سمعته بسبب قوته وشجاعته. التزم نيكولس بإلغاء عقوبة الإعدام نتيجة ارتباطه بمعتقداته الدينية فضلًا عن كونه مدافعًا عن الأمريكيين الأصليين وزعيم جمعية الاعتدال. أثناء حرب 1812، أُرسل نيكولس إلى فلوريدا الإسبانية كجزء من المحاولة البريطانية لتجنيد حلفاء محليين في الجبهة الجنوبية ضد الولايات المتحدة. أقام قاعدة عسكرية، وبنى حصنًا قويًا، وجنّد فيلق من مشاة البحرية الأمريكية من السود والأمريكيين الأصليين. انتهت الحرب في أوائل عام 1815 دون أي هجمات على القاعدة. من عام 1823 إلى عام 1828، كان قائدًا لجزيرة أسينشين في جنوب المحيط الأطلسي، والتي بقي فيها من 1829 إلى 1835، كمشرف على فرناندو بو، قبالة سواحل إفريقيا، وهي قاعدة مهمة في العمليات البريطانية ضد تجارة العبيد. في عام 1835، تقاعد نيكولس من مشاة البحرية الملكية برتبة مقدم. حصل نيكولس على لقب قائد فارس مع وسام لقاء خدماته في عام 1855 - من بين تكريمات أخرى - وترقى إلى رتبة جنرال كامل في تقاعده.

  • Sir Edward Nicolls KCB (c. 1779 – 5 February 1865) was an Anglo-Irish officer of the Royal Marines. Known as "Fighting Nicolls", he had a distinguished military career. According to his obituary in The Times, he was "in no fewer than 107 actions, in various parts of the world", and had "his left leg broken and his right leg severely injured, was shot through the body and right arm, had received a severe sabre cut in the head, was bayoneted in the chest, and had lost the sight of an eye." Nicolls was born in Coleraine, Ireland, in a family with a military tradition; his father was surveyor of excise in Coleraine, and his maternal grandfather was a rector. Nicolls spent his life as an intensely devout Ulster Protestant. He had two years of school in Greenwich, but enlisted in the Royal Navy at the age of 11. In 1795, at the age of 16, he received his first commission in the Royal Marines and soon began service with shipborne detachments of marines. During the Napoleonic Wars and associated conflicts in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and North Sea, he served as a commander of ships' detachments, and gained his reputation for ferocity and courage. Connected with his religious beliefs, Nicolls was a committed abolitionist, as well as an advocate for Native Americans and a leader of the Hibernian Temperance Society. During the War of 1812, Nicolls was posted to Spanish Florida as part of the British attempt to recruit local allies in the southern front against the United States. He set up a base at Prospect Bluff, on the Apalachicola River, and had a sturdy fort built there, where he recruited a black and Native American Corps of Colonial Marines. Nicolls' marines and their Creek and Seminole allies fought at Fort Bowyer and were present at the Battle of New Orleans, but the war ended in early 1815 without any attacks on their base. He returned to Britain with a Treaty of Nicolls' Outpost he had negotiated, but failed to receive support from his government for any further aid to his erstwhile native allies. From 1823 to 1828, he was the Commandant of Ascension Island in the South Atlantic, which was followed by a posting from 1829 to 1835, as Superintendent of Fernando Po, off the coast of Africa, an important base in the British operations against the slave trade. In 1835, Nicolls retired from the Royal Marines with the rank of a lieutenant colonel. For his service, Nicolls was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in 1855—among other honours—and was promoted to the rank of full general in his retirement. (en)
