Harcourt Mortimer Bengough
Major General Sir Harcourt Mortimer Bengough KCB (25 November 1837 – 20 March 1922) joined the British Army in 1855, and retired in 1899, after more than forty years of distinguished service from the Crimea to all quarters of the Empire.
==Early life and career==
Bengough was born on 25 November 1837, and educated at Rugby School in Warwickshire from 1851.〔(Rugby School )〕
He was added to the Commander-in-Chief’s list of potential officers in February 1853, aged barely 16. He was commissioned ensign by purchase in the 77th Regiment of Foot on 22 March 1855, and promoted lieutenant on 3 October of the same year. He achieved his captaincy by purchase on 30 December 1864. He was granted a brevet majority on 1 October 1877 which was made substantive on 2 February 1878.
Bengough was versed in languages and used that skill to produced a booklet on the Zulu language just before he left England. The booklet was made available in the Colony.〔 And, even though the booklet was not officially required,〔 it still received publicity through a mention in the local press and in the General Orders.〔 Towards the end of the Crimean War, Bengough entered that war.〔 Bengough also served in Australia and India.〔
