He went to France in 1690 with his cousin, the Honourable Colonel Arthur Dillon, in whose regiment, as Colonel-Commandant, he was killed at Montmélian in 1691. His brother, Gerald Lally, followed him to France and was father of Thomas Arthur Lally (1702–1766), Baron de Tollendal and Comte de Lally. (en)
