William Evans-Gordon (original) (raw)

Major Sir William Eden Evans Gordon (8 August 1857 – 31 October 1913) was a British MP who previously served as a military diplomat in India. As a political officer on secondment from the British Indian Army from 1876 to 1897 during the British Raj, he was attached to the Foreign Department of the Indian Government. His career in India was a mixture of military administrative business on the volatile North-West Frontier, and diplomacy and foreign politics advising Maharajas or accompanying the Viceroy in the Princely States.
