Wikipedia, accessed April 30, 2019 (Lieutenant General Sir Gerald Graham, VC, GCB, GCMG (Born: 27 June 1831, Acton, England; Died: 17 December 1899, Bideford, Devon). Gerald Graham was a senior British Army commander in the late 19th century and an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. ... In 1882 he accompanied Sir Garnet Wolseley to Egypt as brigadier general, and his forces had a great share in the victorious campaign against Urabi Pasha. In 1884 he took the field against Osman Digna, whose army he defeated at El-Teb and Tamai. In the meantime he had urged a plan for the assistance of Gordon, which, however, was not accepted.) |
