==Early career==
The fifth son of William Cuthbert of Beaufront Castle in Northumberland, Gerald was privately educated, and attended the Royal Military College, Sandhurst.〔''Who Was Who''〕 He was commissioned in the Oxfordshire Light Infantry in May 1882, transferring to the Scots Guards two months later. He served with the 2nd Battalion during the Sudan Expedition of 1885,〔Obituary in the ''Times''〕 where he saw service at the Battle of Suakin, and in 1889–90 was the aide-de-camp to Major-General Frederick Forestier-Walker at Aldershot.〔 Returning to his regiment, he was promoted to Captain in 1893, and appointed adjutant of the 2nd Battalion from February 1895 to February 1899. Shortly after his period as adjutant was finished, in May, he was promoted to Major.〔
He served extensively during the Boer War, seeing action at Belmont, Enslin, Modder River, Magersfontein, Poplar Grove, Dreifontein, Vet River, Zand River, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Diamond Hill, Riet Vlei, and Belfast. Between January and July 1901, he commanded the 1st Battalion Scots Guards. He was mentioned in despatches during the war, and given a brevet promotion to lieutenant-colonel.〔
Following the Boer War, he again commanded the 1st Battalion from 1904 until 1906, when he was relieved of his command and placed on half-pay after an inquiry into ragging in the battalion.〔 Later that year, he was posted to Egypt as a temporary assistant adjutant-general; this was made permanent in December. He remained on the staff in Egypt until October 1909.〔 He then returned home to command the 4th London Brigade in 2nd London Division, a Territorial Force unit, as well as the regimental district of the Scots Guards.〔 In February 1914 he was appointed to command 13th Infantry Brigade, a regular brigade in 5th Division, stationed in Ireland.〔
