What army did the uncle of Jean Gordon command?
Jean Gordon (Red Cross) Jean Gordon, a niece by marriage of General Patton, was a Boston socialite and a Red Cross worker during World War II. She presumably had an ongoing affair with Patton, allegedly beginning years before the war and continuing behind the front lines of wartime Europe. She committed suicide shortly after his death. However, the contending story is that she was despondent over a young officer who had broken off their wartime affair.
John Campbell, 5th Duke of Argyll Field Marshal John Campbell, 5th Duke of Argyll (June 1723 – 24 May 1806), styled Marquess of Lorne from 1761 to 1770, was a Scottish soldier and nobleman. After serving as a junior officer in Flanders during the War of the Austrian Succession, he was given command of a regiment and was redeployed to Scotland where he opposed the Jacobites at Loch Fyne at an early stage of the Jacobite Rebellion and went on to fight against them at the Battle of Falkirk Muir and then at the Battle of Culloden. He later became adjutant-general in Ireland and spent some 20 years as a Member of Parliament before retiring to Inveraray Castle.
