Er zeichnete sich als 16-jähriger Seekadett auf der Krim aus, erwarb sich bei der Niederschlagung des Aufstandes in Indien das Viktoriakreuz, kämpfte an der Goldküste, in Südafrika, Ägypten und im Anglo-Ägyptischen Sudan, bevor er schließlich in die oberste Führungsspitze der britischen Streitkräfte aufstieg.

- Field Marshal Sir Henry Evelyn Wood, VC, GCB, GCMG (9 February 1838 – 2 December 1919) was a British Army officer. After an early career in the Royal Navy, Wood joined the British Army in 1855. He served in several major conflicts including the Indian Mutiny where, as a lieutenant, he was awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest award for valour in the face of the enemy that is awarded to British and Imperial forces, for rescuing a local merchant from a band of robbers who had taken their captive into the jungle, where they intended to hang him. Wood further served as a commander in several other conflicts, notably the Third Anglo-Ashanti War, the Anglo-Zulu War, the First Boer War and the Mahdist War. His service in Egypt led to his appointment as Sirdar where he reorganised the Egyptian Army. He returned to Britain to serve as General Officer Commanding-in-Chief Aldershot Command from 1889, as Quartermaster-General to the Forces from 1893 and as Adjutant General from 1897. His last appointment was as commander of 2nd Army Corps (later renamed Southern Command) from 1901 to 1904. (en)
- Sir Henry Evelyn Wood (Cressing, 9 febbraio 1838 – Harlow, 2 dicembre 1919) è stato un militare britannico. Dopo una prima carriera nella Royal Navy Wood aderì al British Army, prestando servizio con esso nei principali conflitti del XIX secolo, tra cui l'ammutinamento indiano del 1857 come tenente, occasione nella quale ottenne la prestigiosa Victoria Cross, la più alta onorificenza al valore di fronte al nemico concessa dal Regno Unito. Successivamente servì come comandante in molti altri conflitti, in particolare nella prima guerra boera e nella guerra mahdista. Il servizio in Egitto gli valse la nomina a Sirdar (Feldmaresciallo) del riorganizzato esercito egiziano. Tornato in Gran Bretagna prestò servizio nell'esercito come comandante dello stato maggiore sino alla nomina a Feldmaresciallo anche in patria. (it)
