Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Alexander Robert Gisborne Gordon GBE DSO PC (NI) (28 July 1882 – 23 April 1967) was a Unionist Member and Senator in the Parliament of Northern Ireland.
[2] Sir Alexander was educated at Rugby School and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst.
[3] He was seriously wounded whilst serving with the Royal Irish Regiment during the First World War, but continued as a soldier until 1942.
[3] On 13 June 1940, however, he resigned this position[3] as a result of, as he put it, the Northern Irish government being "quite unfitted to sustain the people in the ordeal [the Belfast Blitz] we have to face."
On his death, in 1967,[3] the estate of Delamont was held on trust by Gordon's great-nephew Archibald Arundel Pugh (changed to Gordon-Pugh by deed poll in 1968).
