Bust of Viscount Gough, by G. G. Adams, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Bust of Viscount Gough, by G. G. Adams, 1850. On Saturday evening last, the Hon. the East India Company entertained General Lord Gough and a distinguished party at the London Tavern, in honour of the return of the noble and gallant veteran from his victorious career in India...the Chairman...rose, amidst breathless silence to propose the toast of the evening, which he gave in nearly the following words: "My Lords and gentlemen, we are assembled here this evening to do honour to one of the bravest and most distinguished soldiers of the British army..."...This toast was received with loud and continuous cheering, the band of the Coldstream Guards at the same time striking up "See the Conquering Hero comes"...there was a renewed and general burst of cheering. Lord Gough returned thanks in a very appropriate speech, which was received with enthusiastic applause'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
