    Many of you in Britain, will be aware of fire at Grenfell Tower, in London in 2017 which cost the lives of 72 people.

    But have you paused to wonder how the tower block gained its name?

    Well, it is actually named after a Victorian army officer who played a decisive role in defeating the Sudanese Mahdist invasion of Egypt in 1889.
    Yet, his name and his deeds have largely been lost in the mists of history.

    This is the rarely told story of General Sir Francis Grenfell, a forgotten Victorian hero.
