    The pocket general.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    He was a very small man but was genuinely respected by the men who served under him including the Irish men many of whom served with him in India!

    Victoria Cross, VC - top left medal. Details at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Roberts,_1st_Earl_Roberts "He was awarded the Victoria Cross medal for actions on 2 January 1858 at Khudaganj. The citation reads: Lieutenant Roberts' gallantry has on every occasion been most marked. On following the retreating enemy on 2 January 1858, at Khodagunge, he saw in the distance two Sepoys going away with a standard. Lieutenant Roberts put spurs to his horse, and overtook them just as they were about to enter a village. They immediately turned round, and presented their muskets at him, and one of the men pulled the trigger, but fortunately the caps snapped, and the standard-bearer was cut down by this gallant young officer, and the standard taken possession of by him. He also, on the same day, cut down another Sepoy who was standing at bay, with musket and bayonet, keeping off a Sowar. Lieutenant Roberts rode to the assistance of the horseman, and, rushing at the Sepoy, with one blow of his sword cut him across the face, killing him on the spot.

    Roberts actually lived in Waterford for a while which might explain why his portrait is among the Poole collection! There's a plaque on a wall out the Dunmore Road giving details!

    The house seems to have been replace by the clubhouse of the Golf club.

    Edit: looking at entirely the wrong spot!

    Low Rock Castle demolished without permission in 2001.

    Field Marshal, not General, White had quite an interesting career.

    Some more information about the building with a picture of what's there now.

    There is another earlier? (better paint) photo, with a distinguished looking fellow seated outside. I wonder if it is Field Marshal Sir George Stuart White, VC, GCB, OM, GCSI, GCMG, GCIE, GCVO (6 July 1835 – 24 June 1912). Wouldn't that be something! - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000336471

    From Wikipedia - " ... White became Governor of Gibraltar in May 1900 and,[34] in that role, was promoted to full general on 9 October 1900 and to field marshal on 8 April 1903. ..."
    Which suggests this photo with reference to "General White" is between October 1900 and April 1903. Perhaps.
