Born in Woodstown, Limerick, Gough's military career spanned across significant conflicts such as the Peninsular War and the Sikh Wars in India. The image showcases him dressed in an elaborate uniform adorned with medals, symbolizing his valor and achievements on the battlefield. Gough's stern face is framed by a well-groomed mustache, exuding authority and determination.
