Welcome to the Major A. A. Gordon Society
The Major A. A. Gordon Society is the world's prominent international non-profit society that preserves the historical legacy of Major A. A. Gordon and his family.
The nickname "Major Gordon" originates from the following conversation he had with Princess Marie-José of Belgium in Hardelot on 19 July 1918:
"Major Gordon", the Princess said, "no wonder my rabbit will not obey you. Her name is 'Marshal Soult' and not 'Soult'; therefore, she does not know you are calling to her;It is just as if I were to speak to you as 'Gordon'; no one would know who I meant: but if I spoke of Major Gordon, I would be understood at once because everyone knows who Major Gordon is."
