Burrard stopped Wellesley's pursuit of General Jean-Andoche Junot after Vimiero . It was the only real order of his one-day in command of the army. He was later replaced by an equally cautious Sir Hew Dalrymple who began negotiations with Junot which led to the infamous Convention Of Cintra . Recalled to London for an inquiry into the treaty, Burrard was placed in retirement from active duty. Sir Harry Burrard was the one to have the Burrard Inlet named after him by his friend Captain George Vancouver in June 1792. SEE ALSO REFERENCES |
