In 1845 Aylmer was promoted General but never held another administrative post nor was he enobled in the English peerage. The family title was an Irish one.

He received his first army commission at the age of 12 in 1787 and began his active service in 1793 in the Caribbean. Both the History of the Royal Irish Regiment and Wikipedia fail to mention with which Regiments Aylmer held his commissions. He fought in Holland, Denmark, Germany and the Peninsula by which time he had command of a Brigade. In 1814 he was appointed adjutant general of the forces in Ireland, a post he held until 1823. Promoted to Lieutenant-General in 1825, Aylmer was appointed commander of British military forces in North America in 1830. He was also Governor General of British North America and Lieutenant Governor of Lower Canada. Aylmer was not a successful administrator and the Assembly of Lower Canada demanded in 1834 that he be recalled, which he was in 1835. In 1845 Aylmer was promoted General but never held another administrative post nor was he enobled in the English peerage. The family title was an Irish one. Campaigns and History of the Royal Irish Regiment gives his date of death as today, Wikipedia says the 23rd. \n#18thfoot #royalirishregiment ",
