George Hamilton-Browne (22 December 1844 – 21 January 1916) was a British irregular soldier, adventurer, writer and impostor.[1] He was born into a military family of Irish descent in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire on 22 December 1844.[2] He was the son of George Browne (Capt 44th Regiment) and Susanna Mary Hilton, who were married in Manchester 7 March 1844. He was twice married and died in Jamaica in January 1916.[3]
Fortunately he was on a Reconnaissance on 22.1.1879 and was not present at the Battle of Isandlwana in the Zulu War of 1879.[4] He wrote three books about his experiences, some details of which have been claimed to be of dubious authenticity.
