Alexander Burns lived a life full of courage, cunning and romance that some have called him the 'Victorian James Bond' and others likened him to the book hero 'Flashman' due to these qualities.
Alexander Burns was an adventurer, warrior, spy and diplomat, master of disguise and learner of languages and beauty who would not have known what else he would have done had he not been killed in his prime.
Burns was born on May 17, 1805 in Montrose, Scotland. Joined the East India Company army at the age of 16. While serving in British India, he learned Urdu and Persian and in 1822 was appointed a translator in Surat, Gujarat.
