| This photo was published in the Navy and Army Illustrated on 31st Jan 1896 with the following caption: THE MAJOR OF THE TOWER. Lieutenant-General George Bryan Milman is a veteran officer of some 57 years service. He made his mark as a captain in the Indian Mutiny at Lucknow where he fought brilliantly and distinguished himself with the advance guard in the first relief of the garrison, taking part after that in the heroic defence of the place under Outram, and again coming to the front in the final capture. The close of the campaign found him a brevet Lt-Colonel with the CB and a grant of a year's service. General Milman, besides his Mutiny medal with two clasps, wears the gold medal of the Royal Humane Society for saving the lives of several brother officers at sea, under exceptionally heroic circumstances. He has been Major of the Tower since 1870. |
