   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.07 sec.

Gage, Thomas (1721–1787)

English general, son of the 1st Viscount Gage. He served in the Seven Years' War and in Edward Braddock's ill-fated American expedition to fight against the French in 1755. In 1760 he was appointed military governor in Montréal, and in 1763 commander-in-chief of the British forces in America. As governor of Massachusetts he precipitated the revolution by his ill-timed severity, and, after the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775 he was recalled to England.
