William McBean
Major-General William McBean (1 January 1819 – 22 June 1878) was a Scottish recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. Early life He was born in Inverness on New Year's Day, 1 January 1819, the son of John McBean (McBain), a shoemaker in Inverness, and his wife Ann Gordon. The year of his birth is found cited as 1818 and 1819, and his date of death is found cited as 22 June and 23 June 1878. The correct dates appear to be those recorded on inscriptions on his parents' gravestone in Inverness's old Chapel Yard and on the plinth supporting a bust of General McBean, donated by his brother's family, which is inside Inverness Town House. The inscription on the former states that he ''died at Woolwich 22 June 1878'', and the inscription on the latter states he was ''Born at Inverness January 1819. Died at Woolwich 22nd June 1878''. His father has been sai ...
