Lieutenant General Charles Emilius Gold (6 January 1809 – 29 July 1871) was an English officer of the 65th Regiment, British Army, and artist of historic importance but limited ability.[11][12] He was born at Woolwich Common, Kent, England, on 6 January 1809[13][14] and obtained a commission in the 65th Regiment by purchase on 28 March 1828.[15]

Gold retired from active service in New Zealand, in consequence of his promotion to the rank of major general, on 1 October 1860, having served 32 years with the 65th RegimentinBritish Guiana, Barbados (December 1829 – 1833), Canada (September 1838–July 1841), England and New Zealand (January 1847 – 1860). He'd commanded the forces in New Zealand for 14 years, particularly during the first engagements of the First Taranaki War.[16][17][12][14]

He and his wife, Eleanor, had thirteen children. One of their sons, Walter Kelvington Gold (c 1847–1895), was a respected painter and secretary of the South Australian Society of Arts.
