Albert Goldsmid
Colonel Albert Edward Williamson Goldsmid, MVO (6 October 1846 – 27 March 1904) was a British officer. He was the founder of the Jewish Lads' Brigade (in 1895) and the Maccabaeans.
==Personal life==
Albert Goldsmid was born in Poona, India,〔()〕 the son of Jessie Sarah (née Goldsmit) and Henry Edward Goldsmid.〔 Both of his parents were the great-grandchildren of Aaron Goldsmid, the founder of the Goldsmid family, and his mother was the sister of Major-General Frederic John Goldsmid. His American-born maternal grandmother, Eliza Frances Campbell, was the granddaughter of Revolutionary War aide-de-camp David Franks. His father and maternal grandfather were born Jewish, and had converted to Christianity to achieve social and economic opportunities that were denied Jews.〔''The Tents of Michael, The Life and Times of Colonel Albert Williamson Goldsmid'', Emil Lehman, University Press of America, 1996 978-0761804260〕 As an adult, Goldsmid converted to Judaism and always maintained that being Jewish had not impinged upon his military career. In his later years, he identified himself as the living personification of George Eliot's ''Daniel Deronda''. Eliot's book was transformative for Zionist development and understanding amongst Jews and non-Jews. Goldsmid's wife, Ida Stewart Hendriks, was also a convert to Judaism; she had been raised a Christian by her Protestant mother and Jewish-born father (Ida Hendriks' paternal great-great-great-grandfather had also been Aaron Goldsmid).〔
Goldsmid is buried at the Willesden United Synagogue Cemetery, London. He was the great-grandfather of American-born entertainer Christopher Guest, who succeeded as the 5th Baron Haden-Guest in 1996.〔http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=14081515〕
