Memorable Manitobans: Henry James Warre (1819-1898)
Soldier.
Born at London, England in 1819 to Sir William Ware and Selina Anna Maling, he was educated at Sandhurst (1832-1837) after which he became aide-de-camp to his uncle, Lieutenant General Sir Richard Downes Jackson, then Commander-in-Chief of the forces in North America. In 1845, Warre was given the mission to travel to Oregon with Lieutenant Mervin Vavasour, to determine how to protect British interests there, which were under dispute from the United States. While travelling through the area that would later become Manitoba, Warre made sketches of areas along the Assiniboine River, including Fort Ellice. He later served in the Crimean War, the Maori Wars in New Zealand, and in India. He died in 1898.
