Major-General Sir Charles Wilson (1836-1905)was commissioned as an officer in the Royal Engineers in 1855. He volunteered for the Ordnance Survey of Jerusalem 1864-5. The Survey led to the formation of the Palestine Exploration Fund. A general survey which Wilson made of the area between Beirut and al-Khalil showed how little was known of the antiquities of Palestine, and the need for a proper archaeological investigation. He was elected a member of the executive committee of the Fund on his return in June 1866. Wilson became one of the Fund's most energetic supporters for life, becoming chairman in 1901. In 1899, and again in 1903, Wilson revisited Palestine and devoted much of his time to the controversy over the sites of Golgotha and the Holy Sepulchre. #.
