General Sir Hugh Gough VC, GCB, KCB, C.B, GCMG, KCVO of 1st Bengal European Light Cavalry (later 19th Hussars)
Acts of Bravery, 12th November 1857 and 25th February 1858 during the Indian Mutiny.
Lieutenant Gough was awarded the VC at the age of 23, when in command
of a party of Hodson's Horse, near Alumbagh, on the 12th of November,
1857; particularly distinguished himself by his forward bearing in
charging across a swamp, and capturing two guns, although defended by
a vastly superior body of the enemy. On this occasion he had his horse
wounded in wo places, and his turban cut through by sword cuts, whilst
engaged in combat with three Sepoys.
Lieutenant Gough also particularly distinguished himself, near Jellalabad,
Lucknow, on 25 February 1858, by showing a brilliant example to his
Regiment, when ordered to charge the enemy's guns, and by his gallant
and forward conduct, he enabled them to effect their object. On this
Occasion he engaged himself in a series of single combats, until at length
he was disabled by a musketball through the leg, while charging two Sepoys with fixed bayonets. Lieutenant Gough on this day had two horses killed under him, a shot through his helmet, and another through his scabbard, besides being severely wounde d
Brigadier General Sir John Gough VC, KCB, CB, CMG of The Rifle Brigade
Acts of bravery on 22 April 1903 during the Third Somaliland Expedition.
When he was 32 years of age Gough was in command of
a column on the march which was attacked by an enemy
force in superior numbers led by Mohammed Abdullah
Hassan near Daratoleh, British Somaliland. After
conducting a successful defence, then a fighting
withdrawal, Gough came back to help two captains
(William George Walker and George Murray Rolland).
The captains were helping a mortally wounded officer.
They managed to get the wounded officer onto a camel,
but then he was wounded again and died immediately.
The two captains won the VC for their actions. However,
Gough played down his own part in the event. It was not
until late in the year that the true story came out in
dicating that Gough was equally deserving of recognition
. He was subsequently awarded the VC in January 1904. The King presented the medal to him at Buckingham Palace on 29 February 1904. He was appointed Aide-de-Camp to the King in August 1907.

The final action of the 2nd Sikh War (1848-1849)
was fought at Gujerat, about 120 kilometres
north of Lahore, on 21 February 1849. Sir Hugh
Gough assembled an army of some 24,000 with
which to attack a Sikh force estimated at 60,000.
After an artillery duel lasting some two and a half
hours, Gough ordered his infantry forward in a
general advance. Although Sikh resistance was
fierce, they were eventually forced to give
ground, and the retreat soon became a rout. On
14 March, the remains of the Sikh army
surrendered at Rawalpindi. The Punjab was
annexed to British India, and the Sikh state lost
its independence.
