Sir Lee Oliver Fitzmaurice Stack (15 May 1868 – 20 November 1924) was a British Army officer and Governor-General of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan.

On the outbreak of war in 1914 he was granted the temporary rank of lieutenant-colonel,[5] and in 1917 that of major-general[6] when he became Sirdar of the Egyptian Army, combining this appointment with that of Governor General of the Sudan.

[7] On 19 November 1924 Sir Lee Stack, accompanied by an aide de camp, was being driven from the Egyptian War Office in Cairo to his official residence.

Stack's driver, Frederick Hamilton March, although injured, was able to accelerate the car away from the scene of the shooting and reach the nearby residence of the British High Commissioner to Egypt.

[8] The British High Commissioner Lord Allenby responded with anger, presenting a list of demands to the Egyptian government which included a public apology, an inquiry, suppression of demonstrations and payment of a fine.
