General William Munro was a British officer in Mediterranean and Caribbean campaigns. He was the "father" of the Munros in the British West Indies and Florida. He served at the seige of Minorca during the Napoleonic conflict, and in England and Ireland during the Rebellion. He was the Military Commander of Barbados Surinam.
He was Commissariat General of Halifax during the time when Queen Victoria's father, the Duke of Kent, commanded the troops there.
It is said that he was the son of the Chief of Clan Munro which would mean his father was either Robert Munro, 24th Baron of Foulis, or Harry Munro, 25th Baron of Foulis. However, neither man is recorded as having a son named William.
