Field Marshal Garnet Joseph Wolseley, 1st Viscount Wolseley KP, GCB, OM, GCMG, VD, PC (4 June 1833–25 March 1913) was an Anglo-Irish officer. The number of letters after his name indicates just how glittering was his career. What first made him a household name – he is the original ‘Modern Major-General’ – was campaigning in Africa. In just one year he captured the two most powerful and dangerous potentates on the continent: Cetshwayo, whose Zulus had humbled the British in many battles including Isandlwana; and Sekhukhune of the Bapedi, whose warriors had twice beaten white armies, including a British one. Wolseley was ambitious, clever, lucky, insecure and a magnificent showman.
