Hawker (Lt.-Col. Peter), 1786-1853 
Colonel Hawker was born in London, December 24, 1786, 
and entered tbe Army as Cornet in the 1st Royal Dragoons 
in 1801. He served in tbe Peninsular War and retired from 
active service in 1813, but ultimately became Lieut. -Colonel 
of the North Hampshire Militia. The family estate was at 
Longparish, Hampshire, the ornithology of which locality 
is dealt with in his Diary. The first edition of his celebrated 
Instructions to Young Sportsmen was published anonymously, 
and in a much smaller size than the later editions. This 
work has a certain relevance to our subject, as it contains 
notes on wild-fowl, etc.
