George Thompson (Military Engineer) : ウィキペディア英語版 | George Thompson (engineer) Teniente-Coronel George Thompson (1839-1876) was an English engineer, and was in charge of the Paraguayan military engineering in the Paraguayan War. He was the author of an important primary source on its history. Because of his efforts and the valour of the ordinary Paraguayans, the Allies (the Brazilian Empire, Argentina and Uruguay) found it much harder to defeat Paraguay than they had imagined. ==Early life== Thompson was born at Greenwich on the 26th of March 1839. In 1849 he was sent to a school near Stuttgart, which he left in 1852, continuing his studies near London until 1854. From 1855 to 1857 he served an apprenticeship at the government works at Malta, and was put on the engineering staff of the gasworks in that island. He returned to England in 1857, and soon afterwards was engaged for one year as a draughtsman at a locomotive works. That was the sum total of his engineering experience when he left for South America in 1858, aged 19.
