| Abstract: | Wingate died in 1953, in his ninety-second year. He had served in Egypt and the Sudan till 1919-thirty-six years; for seventeen of which he had been Governor-General of the Sudan and Sirdar of the Egyptian Army, and for three of which he had been British High Commissioner in Egypt.(-) What has been written is more in the nature of my father's life and times than a biopgraphy, for the part which he played in the evolution of the policy of reconquest of the Sudan is, from some points of view, as remarkable as his extraordinary achievement in rebuilding it after its liberation; while the end of his career as High Commissioner in Egypt was to show what should have been England's true policy in Egypt, which the government of the day recklessly jettisoned.
