It was Gordon who stated, “my resolve is never to be taken alive.” Gordon was the leading figure who died in the siege of Khartoum, though he could have escaped, if that was his desire.
It is interesting to note that in the BBC biographical sketch of Gordon, the British public viewed him as a “ martyred warrior-saint,” which is a theme prominent in the mindset of Osama Bin Laden.
Gordon became disenchanted with the British Empire and in fulfilling his vow that he would rather “live like a dervish,” Gordon reincarnated as Osama Bin Laden, a militant leader of the Islamic world.
Charles George Gordon, C.B. January 28, 1833 - January 26, 1885), known as Chinese Gordon, Gordon Pasha, and Gordon of Khartoum, was a British army officer and administrator.
Gordon's memory (as well as his work in supervising the town's riverside fortifications) is commemorated in Gravesend; the embankment of the Riverside Leisure Area is known as the Gordon Promenade, while Khartoum Place lies just to the south.
In 1888 a statue of Gordon by Hamo Thornycroft was erected in Trafalgar Square, London, removed in 1943 and in 1953 relocated to the Victoria Embankment.
