George Lambert (Royal Navy officer)
Admiral Sir George Robert Lambert GCB (1796 - 5 June 1869) was a Royal Navy officer who went on to be Commander-in-Chief, The Nore.
==Naval career==
Born the son of Captain Robert Lambert RN,〔(Biographies of British generals )〕 Lambert joined the Royal Navy in 1809.〔(William Loney RN )〕 Promoted to Captain in 1825, he commanded HMS ''Alligator'', HMS ''Endymion'', HMS ''Imaum'' and then HMS ''Fox''.〔 In 1852, in HMS ''Fox'', he was dispatched to Burma to deal with some infringements of the Treaty of Yandabo. Lambert, described by Lord Dalhousie, Governor-General of India, in a private letter as the "combustible commodore", eventually provoked a naval confrontation in extremely questionable circumstances by blockading the port of Rangoon and thus started the Second Anglo-Burmese War which ended in the British annexing the province of Pegu and renaming it Lower Burma.〔(''Southeast Asia: a historical encyclopedia, from Angkor Wat to East Timor'', Volume 1 By Keat Gin Ooi, p. 736 )〕
He was appointed Commander-in-Chief, The Nore in 1863 and retired in 1864.〔
