Colonel George William Adolphus FitzGeorge (24 August 1843 London - 2 September 1907 Lucerne) was the eldest of three sons of the morganatic marriage which the 2nd Duke of Cambridge contracted with Miss Louisa Fairbrother, the actress, the other sons being Admiral Sir Adolphus FitzGeorge and Colonel Sir Augustus FitzGeorge. Colonel FitzGeorge was born in 1843 and in due course, following the profession of his father, received a commission in the 20th Hussars. When the Egyptian Campaign of 1882 was undertaken he went out to Egypt on special service and was attached to the personal staff of Lord, the General, Sir Garnet Wolseley. He was present at the battle of Tel-el-Kebir, and brought home the despatches. His services in the campaign were mentioned in despatches, and he was awarded with the brevet of lieutenant-colonel, the medal with clasp, the Fourth Class of the Osmanieh, and the Khedive's Star. He retired from the Army in 1895.
