General Sir Alexander Hamilton-Gordon, KCB (11 December 1817 – 18 May 1890) was a British Army officer and politician.

Military career

Hamilton-Gordon was the second son of Prime Minister George Hamilton-Gordon, 4th Earl of Aberdeen, by his second marriage to Harriet, daughter of the Hon. John Douglas.[1] Arthur Hamilton-Gordon, 1st Baron Stanmore, was his younger brother.[1] He served in the British Army and saw action at the Battle of Balaclava in October 1854 during the Crimean War.[2] He went on to be General Officer Commanding Eastern District in January 1872.[3]

Apart from his military career, Hamilton-Gordon was also an Honorary Equerry to Queen Victoria and sat as Member of Parliament for Aberdeenshire East from 1875 to 1885.[4] He was at first a Conservative until he defected to become a Liberal in 1879.[5]

Hamilton-Gordon married Caroline Emilia Mary, daughter of Margaret and Sir John Herschel, 1st Baronet and grand daughter of astronomer William Herschel, in 1852. They had five sons and four daughters. His eldest son Alexander also became a successful soldier. Hamilton-Gordon died in May 1890, aged 72. Lady Hamilton-Gordon survived him by 19 years and died in January 1909.[6]
