Lieutenant-General Sir George Benjamin Wolseley GCB (11 July 1839 – 10 May 1921) was an Anglo-Irish officer in the Indian Army.

[2] Wolseley was the third surviving son of Major Garnet Joseph Wolseley, of the 90th Regiment of Foot (Perthshire Volunteers),[3] by his wife Frances Anne Smith (daughter of William Smith, County Dublin).

Money was short, leaving the Wolseley sons to be educated at the local school instead of being sent to England as was typical for boys of their class.

[7] He served as such for five years until October 1903, but had an extended leave back home in 1902 after his wife's death.

[10] On 10 May 1921, Wolseley's body was discovered on the train tracks of the South Eastern and Chatham Railway (now Medway Valley line) between Wateringbury and Teston in Kent.
