Charles George Gordon, also known as Chinese Gordon, was an English soldier who met a tragic end in Khartoum on 26 January 1885. Despite his untimely death, his legacy lives on through various tributes and memorials dedicated to him. One such tribute is the banknote of Sudan from 1885, which featured his image on pressboard. This recognition speaks volumes about the impact he had during his time in the region. Another depiction of General Gordon can be found in a lithograph titled "Murder of General Charles George Gordon by the Mahdists. " This artwork captures the somber moment when he fell victim to their hands. Gordon's contributions were not limited to military endeavors alone. He played a significant role in The Nile Expedition of 1884-85, where he led the Naval Brigade and rescued Sir Charles Wilson. His bravery and leadership skills were evident throughout this mission. In honor of his memory, several monuments were erected worldwide. In Trafalgar Square, London, stands a statue created in 1888 that pays homage to General Gordon's heroic deeds. Additionally, Lord Wolsely unveiled memorial windows at Rochester Cathedral dedicated to both General Gordon and other officers who served alongside him. Despite being remembered for his military achievements primarily, it is worth noting that Charles George Gordon held great significance beyond warfare. He possessed an intricate understanding of Chinese culture and even had a throne named after him – The Gordon Statue for Khartoum – temporarily erected in St Martins Place. A portrait capturing the essence of this remarkable individual showcases Charles George Gordon as he was known: as British general "Gordon Pasha. " Although he may have passed away over a century ago, his name continues to resonate with respect and admiration among those who recognize his unwavering dedication and sacrifice for others.
