Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
ALEXANDER, SIR JAMES EDWARD (18031885) , British soldier and traveller, was born on the 16th of October 1803. He joined the
East
  India Company's army in 182o, transferring into the British army in 1825. As aide-de-camp to the British
envoy
  to Persia, he was an eye-
witness
  of the fighting in the war between Persia and
Russia
  (1826), and in 1829 was present in the Balkans during the Russo-Turkish war. In 18321834 he was in Portugal during the Miguelete war, and in 1835 served in the Kaffir war in
South
  Africa as aide-de-camp to Sir Benjamin D'Urban. Subsequently he conducted an exploring expedition into Namaqualand and Damaraland, and was knighted for his services (1838). From 1841 to 1855 he served in Canada, proceeding thence to the Crimea, and in 1862 held an important command in New Zealand during the Maori war. He retired from the service in 1877, and in 1881 was given the honorary rank of general. He was largely responsible for the preservation and transfer to England of Cleopatra's Needle in 1877. His varied experiences provided material for a large number of books, among which were Travels from India to England (1827) ; Trans-
atlantic
  Sketches (1833); An Expedition of Discovery into the Interior of Africa (1838) ; Passages in the
Life
  of a Soldier (1857) ; Incidents of the Maori War (1863). He was also the author of a
Life
  of Field-
Marshal
  the Duke of
Wellington
  (184o). He died on the 2nd of April 1885.
