MAJOR A. A. GORDON SOCIETY
Custodians of the legacy of Major Gordon (1867-1949)
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.
Welcome to the Major A. A. Gordon Society
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."
