Henry Loch, 1st Baron Loch

Henry Loch was the son of James Loch, Member of Parliament, of Drylaw, Midlothian. He entered the Royal Navy, but at the end of two years quit it for the British East India Company's military service, and in 1842 obtained a commission in the Bengal Light Cavalry. He and Elizabeth had two daughters and a son. ==Colonial administrator==

Loch never entirely recovered his health after this experience in a Chinese dungeon. Returning home, he was invested as a Companion of the Order of the Bath, and for a while was private secretary to Sir George Grey, 2nd Baronet, then at the Home Office. When the Second Boer War broke out in 1899 Loch took a leading part in raising and equipping a body of mounted men, named after him Loch's Horse. He died in London on 20 June 1900, and was succeeded as Baron Loch by his son Edward Douglas Loch (1873–1942). ==Legacy==

In addition the Isle of Man Railway locomotive No.4 Loch is named in his honour. Loch Street in the Canberra suburb of Yarralumla is named after him due to Governorship of Victoria. ==Notes==
