He saw action in the Crimean War as an officer in the British Army. However, he made his military reputation in China, where he was placed in command of the &quot;Ever Victorious Army&quot;, a force of Chinese soldiers led by European officers which was instrumental in putting down the Taiping Rebellion, regularly defeating much larger forces.<br /> <br /> <br /> == In the Sherlock Holmes stories ==<br /> <br /> * [[Sherlock Holmes]] remarked that [[Dr. Watson]] had his eyes fixed upon his newly-framed picture of &#039;&#039;&#039;General Gordon&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[CARD]] {{refcanon|CARD|40}}). And his eyes flashed across to the unframed portrait of [[Henry Ward Beecher]] which stands upon the top of his books ([[CARD]] {{refcanon|CARD|42}}). So [[Sherlock Holmes]] deduced that [[Dr. Watson]] were thinking that if the portrait were framed, it would just cover that bare space and correspond with &#039;&#039;&#039;Gordon&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;s picture over there ([[CARD]] {{refcanon|CARD|44}}).<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> [[Category:Characters (all stories)|Gordon, General]]<br /> [[Category:Characters (Sherlock Holmes stories)|Gordon, General]]</div>
