Having joined the Army in 1784, Gough (1799-1869) served initially at the Cape of Good Hope and the West Indies.

In 1837, he was appointed to command a division of the Madras Army in India; four years later he was sent to command the British troops in the 1st China War (1839-1842).
After the conclusion of the war in 1842, Gough was appointed Commander-in-Chief in India where he saw action in the 1st Anglo-Sikh War (1845-1846). Although successful, Goughs army suffered heavy losses against the Sikhs and his tactics were criticised. He was replaced by Sir Charles Napier. For his services in India, Gough was elevated to the peerage in April 1846.); © National Army Museum

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating oil on canvas painting titled "Lieutenant-General Viscount Hugh Gough, Army Staff, 1850 circa" showcases the distinguished military leader in all his glory. Painted by James Harwood around 1850, this artwork is housed at the National Army Museum in London. Viscount Hugh Gough's illustrious career began when he joined the Army in 1784. He served in various locations such as the Cape of Good Hope and the West Indies before embarking on his notable role during the Peninsular War. Commanding the Royal Irish Fusiliers, he played a significant part in pivotal battles like Talavera (1809), Barrosa (1811), and Vitoria (1813). Gough's military prowess earned him promotions throughout his career, reaching major-general status in 1830. His leadership skills led to appointments commanding divisions of both Madras Army in India and British troops during the first China War (1839-1842). However, it was during the first Anglo-Sikh War (1845-1846) that Gough faced challenges as his army suffered heavy losses against Sikh forces. Despite criticism regarding his tactics, Gough's contributions were recognized with an elevation to peerage for his services in India. This remarkable portrait captures not only Viscount Hugh Gough's dignified presence but also commemorates a lifetime dedicated to serving his country.
