From the battlefields of the Penninsular War to the shores of North America, the name Warre holds a rich and varied history. Sir Charles Warre Malet, a prominent British Lieutenant-General during the Peninsular War, is depicted in a lithograph by J.C.D. Engleheart. Edmond Warre, an English headmaster of Eton College from 1884 to 1905, is seen in a photograph from 1888. The Mr. Warre's maxillaria orchid, Warrea warreana, bears his name. Sir Thomas Warre, the 12th Baron De La Warr, was an English soldier and colonist who greeted Sir Thomas Gates upon his arrival in Virginia in 1610, as depicted in a wood engraving. The Rocky Mountains were explored by Henry Warre in 1848, as documented in his Sketches in North America and the Oregon Territory. The Delaware Lands, claimed by the Warre family in 1610, mark the beginning of English colonization in America. From military leaders to explorers, the Warre legacy spans continents and centuries.
