Sir George Head (1782–1855) was an English commissariat officer and deputy Knight Marshal, also known for the publication 'A Home Tour through the Manufacturing Districts of England in the Summer of 1835', and other literary works.
In 1808 he became a captain in the West Kent Militia, then at Woodbridge, Suffolk, but in the following year joined the British Army at Lisbon as a clerk in the commissariat.
He served during the remainder of the Peninsular War, following the army to the fields of Vitoria, Nivelle, and Toulouse, and the actions in the Pyrenees.
From May 1813 he was in charge of the commissariat of the 3rd division of the Spanish army under Sir Thomas Picton, concerning whom he has recorded many interesting particulars in the Memoirs of an Assistant Commissary-General.
Returning in August 1814, he was on the following 28 October ordered to proceed to Halifax, Nova Scotia; thence he went to Quebec, and was afterward employed on Lake Huron.
