- Sir Galbraith Lowry Cole, GCB (1 May 1772 Dublin - 4 October 1842 Highfield Park, Hampshire), styled The Honourable from birth, was an Irish British Army general and politician. Cole was commissioned a cornet in 1787, and served in the West Indies, Ireland, and Egypt. He served as brigadier general in Sicily and commanded the 1st Brigade at the Battle of Maida on the 4 July 1806. In 1808 he was promoted to major-general, to lieutenant-general in 1813 and full general in 1830. He was colonel of the 27th Foot, commanded the 4th Division in the Peninsular War under Wellington, and was wounded at the Battle of Albuera in which he played a decisive part. For having served with distinction in the battles of Maida, Albuhera, Salamanca, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Orthez and Toulouse, he received the Army Gold Cross with four clasps. He was Member of Parliament in the Irish House of Commons for the family seat of Enniskillen from 1797 to 1800, and represented Fermanagh in the British House of Commons in 1803. He was appointed 2nd Governor of Mauritius from 12 Jun 1823 to 17 Jun 1828. He left in 1828 to take up the post of Governor of the Cape Colony which position he filled until 1833. Cole was invested as a Knight Grand Cross, Order of the Bath on 2 January 1815. He is commemorated in Enniskillen by a statue surmounting a 30 metre column in Fort Hill Park, carried out by the Irish sculptor, Terence Farrell.
- Sir Galbraith Lowry Cole war ein General der British Army und von 1828 bis 1833 britischer Gouverneur in der südafrikanischen Kapkolonie. Nach ihm wurden das Städtchen Colesberg sowie der Sir Lowry's Pass benannt. Um einen sicheren Übergang über die Hottentots Holland Mountains zu schaffen, genehmigte Gouverneur Cole den Bau eines neuen Passes. Die britische Regierung wollte dafür allerdings kein Geld ausgeben und drohte Sir Lowry Cole persönlich eine hohe Geldstrafe an, falls er nicht sofort die Arbeiten einstellte. Die weiße Bevölkerung sicherte daraufhin zu, sie käme für die Strafe auf. Die britische Regierung zog ihre Drohung zurück und der Pass konnte 1831 eingeweiht werden. In den 1950er und 80er Jahren wurde der Pass ausgebaut und verbessert. Vom Scheitelpunkt aus überblickt man die False Bay bis hinüber nach Kapstadt.
- Né le 1 mai 1772 à Dublin et mort le 4 octobre 1842 à Highfield Park, Sir Galbraith Lowry Cole fut un général britannique qui participa notamment à la guerre d'indépendance espagnole. Il fut plus tard gouverneur de Maurice du 12 juin 1823 au 17 juin 1828.
