I am Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm GCB GCMG, hailing from Douglan, near Langholm, Scotland. Born on 20 February 1768, I ventured into the realm of naval service during the tempestuous era of the American Revolutionary War. Under the guidance of esteemed commanders such as my uncle, Captain Pasley, I navigated through battles at sea and rose through the ranks, eventually carving a path that led me to the illustrious position I held in the annals of British naval history.
