GOULARD'S EXTRACT 



1st Viscount Gough, 

 British soldier 



After J. Jackson, 11. A. 



Gough, HUGH GOUGH, IST VIS- 

 COUNT (1779-1869). British soldier. 

 Born at Woodstovvn, co. Limerick, 

 Nov. 3, 1779, he 

 belonged to a 

 family that had 

 long lived in 

 Ireland. In 

 1794 he entered 

 the army, and 

 took part in 

 various expedi- 

 t i o n s against 

 France and her 

 allies. In 1809 

 he went to 

 Spain, and in the Peninsular War 

 made a reputation by his gallantry 

 and also as a regimental leader. 

 After 1819 he served in Ireland. 



In 1837 he commanded a division 

 in India, whence he went to China 

 as commander-in-chief during the 

 war of 1840-41. In 1845 he 

 was made commander-in-chief in 

 India, and as such he took the 

 field against the Mahrattas in 1843, 

 and against the Sikhs in 1845. He 

 crushed the Sikhs, his culminating 

 victory being at Sobraon, but in 

 1848 they rose again in arms. 

 Gough met them at Chillianwalla, 

 and, although that combat was not 

 decisive, a victory at Gujarat put 

 an end to their resistance before 

 the order for his recall reached 

 him. In 1846, being already a 

 baronet, he was made a baron, arid 

 in 1849 a viscount. A field-marshal, 

 he died March 2, 1869. 



Gough was succeeded by his 

 son George, and then by his grand- 

 son Hugh (1849-1919), who be- 

 came the 3rd viscount in 1895. 



Gough, StR HUBERT DE LA 

 POER (b. 1870). British soldier. 

 Born Aug. 12. 1870, of a famous 

 Irish family of 

 soldiers, he was 

 educated at 

 Eton and Sand- 

 hurst, and in 

 1 S89 joined the 

 Kith Lancers. 

 He served in 

 the Tirah ex- 

 pedition, 1897- 

 98, and after- 

 wards went 

 through the S. 

 African War. In 1907 he took over 

 the command of the 16th Lancers. 

 Then serving in Ireland, Gough re- 

 signed his commission rather than 

 proceed against Ulster, but, this 

 difficulty adjusted, he took the 3rd 

 cavalry brigade to France in Aue., 



1914, and was later given the com- 

 mand of a division, and in July, 



1915, of the 1st corps. 



In July, 1916, he was placed at 

 the head of the 5th army, which 

 he had led during the battle of the 

 Somme. In 1917 his tactics at the

third battle of Ypres were criti- 

 cised as unduly costly, but he was 

 still with his army when the Ger- 

 mans broke through the British 

 line in March, 1918. He did every- 

 thing possible to stay the rush, but 

 was held responsible for the disas- 

 ter and recalled. In 1919 he was 

 appointed head of a military mis- 

 sion to coordinate allied effort in 

 the Baltic States. Gough was 

 knighted in 1916, and made a 

 lieutenant-general in 1917. See 

 The Fifth Army in March, 1918, 

 by W. S. Sparrow, with a foreword 

 by Gen. Sir H. Gough, 1921.
