What is recorded here
George White is a birthplace in Portstewart, County Derry, Ireland. Perhaps the British Army officer born there on 6 July 1835 first heard the sea before he ever marched into battle. Maybe his childhood rooms still hold the shape of a boy learning discipline through storms.
Why this person is known: British Army officer (1835–1912)
