George A.W. Lamond

Lt.-Col. George Alexander Walker Lamond (23 July 1878 – 25 February 1918) was a Scotland international rugby union player.

He was first deployed to France, where his many engineering projects led to a promotion to lieutenant colonel, and then to Mesopotamia, where he was engaged in building the new Port of Basra over the Tigris and Euphrates.

He fell ill with a fever and was sent to Sri Lanka to recover, but his conditioned worsened and he died in February 1918.

He is buried in the non-conformist section of Colombo (Kanatte) General Cemetery, in Borella.
