went through the Indian mutiny in 1897
as a young officer, taking part in many
engagements with the Sepoys. 1t was,
however, during the Afghan war IN
ls79-S0 that he won the Victoria cross
"for valor." At the battle of Charasiah
he led two companies of his regiment,
the Gordon Hghlanders, up steep

exhausted, he seized a rifle, advanced
alone and shot the Afghan general dead.

one with his own hands and assured
the British victory.

of Gen. Gordon. In 1897, when he was
