Alexander Cobbe
General Sir Alexander Stanhope Cobbe VC GCB KCSI DSO (6 June 1870 – 29 June 1931) was a recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
==Early life==
Alexander Stanhope Cobbe was born on 5 June 1870 in Naini Tal, Bengal Presidency, India, the third child and second son of Lt.-Gen. Sir Alexander Hugh Cobbe and Emily Barbara Cobbe, née Jones.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oxford DNB article: Cobbe, Sir Alexander Stanhope )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alexander Stanhope Cobbe )〕 Through his father's family he was descended from Charles Cobbe 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Charles Cobbe )〕 (1686-1765), archbishop of Dublin; his grandmother, the wife of Colonel Thomas Cobbe, was Nuzzeer Begum Khan,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Nuzzeer Begum Khan )〕 thereby making Alexander a distinguished Anglo-Indian. Alexander had two sisters and four brothers; of the latter two became lieutenant-colonels in the British Army and one a captain in the Royal Navy. In 1881 he was a pupil at Eagle House School, Wimbledon. He went on to Wellington College and then followed his elder brother Henry Hercules Cobbe to the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, from where he passed out in 1889.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=King's Collections : Archive Catalogues : Military Archives )〕 At the age of 19 he was commissioned a second lieutenant in the South Wales Borderers, 10 years after that regiment had earned seven Victoria Crosses and immortal fame at the battle of Rorke's Drift.
