General Sir Torquhil George Matheson, 5th Baronet, KCB, CMG, (February 1871 – November, 1963) was a senior British Army officer of the First World War who commanded three different divisions in some of the heaviest fighting of the conflict. He had previously served in the militia and with the Coldstream Guards in the Second Boer War. For his service, he was knighted in 1921 and in 1944 he inherited the Matheson baronetcy from his brother Roderick. == Early Life and Family == Torquhil Matheson was born in 1871, the youngest child of Sir Alexander Matheson, 1st Baronet, and was educated at Eton College. He inherited the baronetcy in 1944 when his four older brothers (including the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Baronets) predeceased him and three nephews (the 3rd Bt.'s only sons) were all killed in action in World War I. In 1900 he married Ella Louisa Linton and they divorced in 1923 (no children). He then married Lady Elizabeth Keppel, the youngest child of Arnold Keppel, 8th Earl of Albemarle. They had two sons: *Major Sir Torquhil Alexander Matheson of Matheson, 6th Bt. (15 Aug 1925–9 Apr 1993) *Major Sir Fergus John Matheson of Matheson, 7th Bt.
