One of the basic sources for the history of the Greek Revolution. Gordon and his adjutant William Humphreys were among the first British volunteers and the former became a general in the Greek army. In terms of financial support and active service, Gordon was one of the most generous of the philhellenes. He was also a member of the London Greek Committee and ultimately made his home at Argos. Unlike many of his fellows, Gordon remained loyal to Greece, if not to certain governments, from first to last.
