Field Marshal Garnet Joseph Wolseley, 1st Viscount Wolseley, KP, GCB, OM, GCMG, VD, PC (4 June 1833 – 25 March 1913) was an Anglo-Irish officer in the British Army. He served in Burma, the Crimean War, the Indian Mutiny, China, Canada, and widely throughout Africa—including his Ashanti campaign (1873–1874) and the Nile Expedition against Mahdist Sudan in 1884–85. He served as Commander-in-Chief of the Forces from 1895 to 1900. His reputation for efficiency led to the late 19th-century English phrase "everything's all Sir Garnet", meaning "all is in order."
Education and the Second Burmese War</SPAN>

Born the eldest son of Major Garnet Joseph Wolseley of "the King's Own Scottish Borderers" (25th Foot) and Frances Anne Wolseley (née Smith), Wolseley was educated in Dublin and first worked in a surveyor’s office.[1]
He obtained a commission as an ensign in the 12th Foot on 12 March 1852[2] without purchase, in recognition of his father's service.[1] He then transferred to the 80th Foot on 13 April 1852,[3] with which he served in the Second Anglo-Burmese War.[4] He was severely wounded in the thigh on 19 March 1853[4] in the attack on Donabyu, was mentioned in despatches, and received the war medal. Promoted to lieutenant on 16 May 1853 and invalided home, Wolseley transferred to the 84th Regiment of Foot on 27 January 1854[5] and then to the 90th Light Infantry,[6] at that time stationed in Dublin, on 24 February 1854.[4] He was promoted to captain on 29 December 1854.[7]
[edit] The Crimea

He accompanied the regiment to the Crimea, and landed at Balaklava in December 1854. He was selected to be an assistant engineer, and attached to the Royal Engineers during the Siege of Sevastopol.[4] Wolseley served throughout the siege, where he was wounded at "the Quarries" on 7 June 1855, and again in the trenches on 30 August 1855, losing an eye.[4]
After the fall of Sevastopol, Wolseley was employed on the quartermaster-general's staff, assisting in the embarkation of the troops and supplies, and was one of the last British soldiers to leave the Crimea in July 1856.[4] For his services he was twice mentioned in dispatches, received the war medal with clasp, the 5th class of the French Légion d'honneur[8] and the 5th class of the Turkish Order of the Medjidie.[9]
Six months after joining the 90th Foot at Aldershot, he went with it in March 1857 to join the troops being despatched for the Second Opium War.[4] Wolseley was embarked in the transport Transit which was wrecked in the Strait of Banka - the troops were all saved, but with only their personal arms and minimal ammunition. They were taken to Singapore, and from there were dispatched to Calcutta on account of the Indian Mutiny.[10]
[edit] The Indian Mutiny 1857

Wolseley distinguished himself at the relief of Lucknow[4] under Sir Colin Campbell in November 1857, and in the defence of the Alambagh position[4] under Outram, taking part in the actions of 22 December 1857, of 12 January 1858 and 16 January 1858, and also in the repulse of the grand attack of 21 February 1858.[1] That March, he served at the final siege and capture of Lucknow. He was then appointed deputy-assistant quartermaster-general on the staff of Sir Hope Grant's Oudh division,[1] and was engaged in all of the operations of the campaign, including the actions of Bari, Sarsi, Nawabganj, the capture of Faizabad, the passage of the Gumti and the action of Sultanpur. In the autumn and winter of 1858 he took part in the Baiswara, trans-Gogra and trans-Rapti campaigns ending with the complete suppression of the rebellion.[10] For his services he was frequently mentioned in dispatches, and having received the Mutiny medal and clasp, he was promoted to brevet major on 24 March 1858[11] and to brevet lieutenant-colonel on 26 April 1859.[12]
Wolseley continued to serve on Sir Hope Grant's staff in Oudh, and when Grant was nominated to the command of the British troops in the Anglo-French expedition to China of 1860,[4] accompanied him as the deputy-assistant quartermaster-general. He was present at the action at Sin-ho, the capture of Tang-ku, the storming of the Taku Forts,[4] the Occupation of Tientsin, the Battle of Pa-to-cheau and the entry into Beijing (during which the destruction of the ChineseImperialOld Summer Palace was begun).[4] He assisted in the re-embarkation of the troops before the winter set in. He was mentioned, yet again, in dispatches, and for his services received the medal and two clasps. On his return home he published the Narrative of the War with China in 1860.[13] He was given the substantive rank of major on 15 February 1861

WOLSELEY, GARNET JOSEPH, 1st Viscount WOLSELEY, army officer; b. 4 June 1833 at Golden Bridge House, County Dublin (Republic of Ireland), eldest son of Major Garnet Joseph Wolseley and Frances Anne Smith; m. 4 June 1867 Louisa Erskine (d. 1920) in London, England, and they had one daughter; d. 25 March 1913 in Menton, France, and was buried in St Paul’s Cathedral in London.
Garnet Wolseley’s father died when he was seven and his mother brought up seven children in impecunious circumstances. Wolseley attended a day-school in Dublin and then worked in a surveyor’s office. On 12 March 1852 he was commissioned ensign in the 12th Foot, without purchase in recognition of his father’s career in the army. He soon transferred into the 80th Foot for service in India.
He was immediately thrown into colonial wars. In 1852–53 he was in Burma, where he was severely wounded in the thigh. He was mentioned in dispatches and was promoted lieutenant on 16 May 1853. Sent home to recover, he transferred to the 90th Light Infantry and was soon on his way to the Crimea. At Sevastopol (Ukraine), where he served throughout the siege of 1854–55, he was able to use his surveying knowledge as an assistant engineer and was again seriously wounded, losing the sight in his right eye. Wolseley would finish the war as deputy assistant quartermaster-general of the Light Division. Promoted captain, again without purchase, on 26 Jan. 1855, he was mentioned in dispatches several times, awarded the Legion of Honour, and recommended for the Victoria Cross.
