Lieutenant General Sir Charles Tucker (died 22 December 1935) was a British Army officer during the late nineteenth and early years of the twentieth centuries. ==Military career== Tucker was commissioned into the 22nd Foot in 1855. He first came to prominence during the Zulu war when, as a major, he commanded the Fort at Kopje Allein in 1879.〔(Memories of Forty-Eight Years Service - The Zulu War ) The War Times Journal〕 By the time of the Second Boer War he was a senior commander and was ordered by Lord Roberts to garrison the City of Pretoria.〔(''A question of treason'' By Francis Hugh De Souza, Page 144 ) Kiaat, 2004, ISBN 978-0-620-32030-6〕 He later held the command of the Bloemfontein garrison in the Orange River Colony, until he left South Africa in March 1902. He was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (KCB) in November 1900, in recognition of his services in South Africa, and invested as such by King Edward VII on 13 May 1902, after his return to the UK. Tucker returned to South Africa with his newly married wife in June 1902. He became General Officer Commanding Scottish District in 1903 and, subsequently, the first General Officer Commanding-in-Chief for Scottish Command in 1905: he retired later that year. He was also Colonel of the Cheshire Regiment and of the South Staffordshire Regiment. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Tucker (British Army officer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
