Field-Marshal Sir G. Pollock, G.C.B. the new Constable of the Tower of London, 1871. Engraving after a photograph by John Watkins. This veteran soldier...entered the military service of the East India Company nearly seventy years ago...He forced the Khyber Pass by a series of skilful and brilliant operations. He...defeated the Afghan forces at Mamookail, again at Jugdulluck...and, finally, all the troops under Akhbar Khan...he took the city of Cabul [ie Kabul], and subsequently effected the release of the prisoners so long held in captivity...For these services he was rewarded by being nominated a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath...he received the public thanks of both Houses for the intrepidity, skill, and perseverance which he had displayed in his brilliant operations in India. About the same period the freedom of the city of London was conferred upon him. In 1847 a pension of £1000 a year was voted him by the East India Company. He has received nearly all the medals and clasps which could he gained by Indian Generals...in 1858 he was nominated by her Majesty as one of the directors of the East India Company upon the transfer of that body to the Crown...He is also a Knight of the Exalted Order of the Star of India'.
