British Gen. Charles George Gordon His Devotion To Faith And Resolve Earned Him A Place Of Honor.(A)(Leaders & Success)
Byline: George Neumayr
Investor's Business Daily
Most soldiers achieve success with victory. Charles George Gordon achieved it with defeat.
Considered one of Britain's best soldiers and foreign emissaries, Gordon occupies a permanent place in British military history for his perseverance during his last stand at Khartoum in 1885. Dispatched to the Sudan to quell disorder, Gordon resisted a siege of Muslim rebels for 10 months.
"I will stay here and fall with the tow
n and run all risks," he said. And he did: With backup troops from Britain justhours away, he stood alone in the city's palace as the rebels circled and killed him.
His methods inspired generations of soldiers to serve with dignity and honor. Queen Victoria mourned Gordon's death - a martyrdom, as she put it, "so edifying to the world."
