Question 180 - Who is this? A - Lt. Presley Neville O'Bannon

Try my luck (difficult to be sure)...

Corvisart. Military surgeon well known for being very fast when performing amputations.
 
One hint-US Marine Corps. His is not an obscure name to a US Marine.
 
Samuel Nicholas (1744 – 1790) the first Commandant of the Marine Corps?
 
Architect George Hadfield who designed the barracks and the Commandant’s House, in use today as Marine Barracks, Washington, D.C.
 
Sorry, no. As mentioned earlier, US Marine Corps. One more clue: He was a Lieutenant at the time he did what he is famous for.
 
Presley O'Bannon

As wiki said: "Led the in the Battle of Derna on April 27, 1805, giving the Marines' Hymn its line “to the shores of Tripoli†and was given a sword that became part of the officer uniform"... Imagine that is why he is reknown in the USMC

Very difficult to recognize him on the portrait : )

Edit: Of course not the first to answer.... You're fast guys :)
 
Lt. Presley Neville O'Bannon, it is. Joequ1oeil, wins on a technicality, he also indicated what Lt. O'Bannon was famous for. Well done. Kudos to Numberz for correctly identifying him first.
