| Wood | Evelyn | | Field-Marshal | Born Feb 9, 1838, at Cressing, Essex, and was educated at Marlborough. Sir Evelyn Wood has had a long and brilliant career extending over half a century. He entered the Royal Navy in 1852, and was severely wounded while serving with the Naval Brigade in the Crimean War. It was certainly not an unfortunate decision which induced him to resign the service in which, young as he was, his personal gallantry had made him conspicuous, and to enter the Army in which he has done such splendid work. After serving in a Light Dragoon Regiment he joined the 17th Lancers in the Indian Mutiny Campaign, where he gained the VC for having on Oct 19, 1858, during an action at Sindwayo, when in command of a troop of the 3rd Light Cavalry, attacked with much gallantry, almost singlehanded, a body of rebels, and also for subsequently rescuing an Indian from a band of robbers. At this time he was serving as Brigade-Major with Beetson's Horse. He also raised and commanded Mayne's Horse, and was present in five actions. He served with greet distinction in the Ashanti and Kaflir Wars, and while engaged in campaigning against the Zulus, was in command of one of the four columns dispatched against Cetcwayo. He also went through the first and ill-fated Boer War, and assumed command after Sir G Colley was killed at Majuba. He afterwards commanded the Second Brigade (2nd Div.) in the Expedition in Egypt in 1882; raised the Egyptian Army in 1883, and took part in the Nile Expedition in 1894-95. It was Mr Kruger's firm conviction that when the Boer War broke out the command of the British forces would he given to Sir Evelyn Wood, whom he regarded as the most formidable adversary that General Joubert was likely to meet in the field. As we know, the choice fell upon General Buller, though after the early reverses, and before Lord Roberts was sent out, Sir Evelyn offered to go out to serve under Sir Redvers. He has, at various times, been in command of the Chetham and Eastern Dists. of the Aldershot Div. He has also been Adjt. General and Quartermaster General to the Forces, and prior to his retirement commanded the 2nd Army Corps. Sir Evelyn Wood was called to the Bar at the Middle Temple in 1874. He is a well-known writer on military subjects, his book on the Crimea being regarded as a standard work of those stirring times. He married, Sep 19, 1867, the Hon Pauline Southwell, who died in 1891. | Staff |
