Thomas Graham was involved on the Battle of Barrosa on 5th March 1811 NOT the Battle of Barossa.

The spelling with one r and two s was as a result of a clerical error when a region in South Australia was named Barrosa Ranges by Colonel William Light in 1837. Subsequent errors saw the region called Barossa Ranges (and eventually Barossa Valley - an area now internationally known for wine production)

[edit] Balgowan, Dundee?

was Thomas Graham from the Balgowan that is now a part of Dundee? there is another two places called Balgowan, one to the west near Methven and one to the north near Pitlochry. If it is the area of Dundee can the article be amended to reflect this? I believe his cousin Colonel John Graham of Fintry (joined the 90th Regiment when it was raised by Thomas), hailed from Fintry in Dundee only a kilometre or so from the Balgowan in Dundee.
