Charles Tucker was commissioned into the 22nd Foot in 1855. He first came to prominence during the Zulu war when‚ as a Major‚ he commanded the Fort at Kopje Allein in 1879. By the time of the Second Boer War he was a senior commander and was ordered by Lord Roberts to garrison the City of Pretoria. He later became General Officer Commanding Scottish District and‚ subsequently‚ the first General Officer Commanding-in-Chief for Scottish Command in 1905.
