Gage, Thomas (1721–1787)

English general, son of the 1st Viscount Gage. He served in the Seven Years' War and in Edward Braddock's ill‐fated American expedition to fight against the French in 1755. In 1760 he was appointed military governor in Montréal, and in 1763 commander‐in‐chief of the British forces in America. As governor of Massachusetts he precipitated the revolution by his ill‐timed severity, and, after the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775 he was recalled to England.
