Master Georgie is a 1998 historical novel by English novelist Beryl Bainbridge.

It deals with the British experience of the Crimean War[1] through the adventures of the eponymous central character George Hardy, who volunteers to work on the battlefields.

George Hardy, an attractive English surgeon, amateur photographer and bisexual, leaves his affluent lifestyle in Liverpool, where he is heir to a fortune, to go to war at Inkerman in the Crimea.

His story is told by three other characters: Myrtle, a lovestruck foundling who bears Hardy's children, Dr. Potter, an intellectual and geologist and Pompey Jones, a one-time street performer who learns photography from Hardy.

United by a sudden death in a Liverpool brothel in 1846, the four characters are undeniably linked by love, class, war and fate.
