About Hugh Gough, 1st Viscount Gough

Field Marshal Hugh Gough, 1st Viscount Gough, was an Irish officer in the British Army. After serving as a junior officer in the British invasion of the Cape Colony during the French Revolutionary Wars, Gough commanded the 2nd Battalion of the 87th Regiment of Foot during the Peninsular War. During the First Opium War, he was commander-in-chief of the British forces in China. He then became commander-in-chief in India and led the British forces in action against the Marathas, defeating them decisively at the conclusion of the Gwalior campaign, as well as commanding the troops that defeated the Sikhs during both the First Anglo-Sikh War and the Second Anglo-Sikh War.
