General Sir Bindon Blood, GCB, GCVO (7 November 1842 – 16 May 1940) was a British Army commander who served in Egypt, Afghanistan, India, and South Africa.

He was commissioned in 1860 in the Royal Engineers as a temporary lieutenant in charge of signalling and pontoon bridge construction in India, and for brief periods in Zululand and South Africa.

[2] Lord Kitchener succeeded as chief of command during the Second Boer War in late 1900, and requested Blood for service in South Africa, where he arrived in early March 1901.

He spent six months in command of a division fighting in the Eastern Transvaal with the local rank of lieutenant general on the Staff from 1 April 1901.

[6] In 1902 General Blood clashed with the then Viceroy Lord Curzon over an incident involving the murder of an Indian cook by troopers of the 9th Lancers.

An enquiry within the regiment was carried out negligently, failing to identify the guilty parties, and Blood made a complacent report suggesting that the soldiers were entirely innocent.
