He was educated at Clifton College and Sandhurst Military Academy. CareerAfter service with the British Army, Major Lee Stack was seconded to the Egyptian Army in 1899. In addition to regimental appointments he served as Military Secretary to General Sir Reginald Wingate. He received the Order of Osmanieh, third class, from the Khedive of Egypt in 1902.[3] Stack left the army in 1910 but took up the position of Civil Secretary of the Sudan in 1913, based in Khartoum. On the outbreak of war in 1914 he was granted the temporary rank of lieutenant-colonel,[4] and in 1917 that of major-general[5] when he became Sirdar of the Egyptian Army, combining this appointment with that of Governor General of the Sudan. AssassinationOn 19 November 1924 Sir Lee Stack, accompanied by an aide de camp, was being driven from the Egyptian War Office in Cairo to his official residence. His car had halted in heavy traffic to give a tram car right of way when several Egyptian students grouped on the pavement fired a volley of revolver shots into the vehicle. Stack's driver (Frederick Hamilton March), although injured, was able to accelerate the car away from the scene of the shooting and reach the nearby residence of the British High Commissioner to Egypt. The Sirdar himself suffered three wounds and died the next day. AftermathThe British responded with anger, demanding of the Egyptian government a public apology, an inquiry, suppression of demonstrations and payment of a large fine. Further, they demanded withdrawal of all Egyptian officers and Egyptian army units from the Sudan, an increase to the scope of an irrigation scheme in Gezira and laws to protect foreign investors in Egypt.[6] Seven men convicted of involvement in the assassination were executed by hanging in 1925. Several were identified by a taxi driver whose vehicle they had commandeered to escape from the scene. The pistols used were identified through a pioneering instance of bullet examination by forensic science. Sir Geoffrey Archer, formerly Governor of Uganda, took over as Governor-General of the Sudan in January 1925, the first time a civilian had held this office.[7]References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.oxforddnb.com/index/101036230/ |title=‘Stack, Sir Lee Oliver Fitzmaurice (1868–1924)’ |accessdate=10 February 2009 |author=Daly, M.W. |date=September 2004 |work=Oxford Dictionary of National Biography |publisher=Oxford University Press |doi=10.1093/ref:odnb/36230}} {{s-start}}{{s-mil}}{{s-bef|before=Sir Reginald Wingate}}{{s-ttl|title=Sirdar of the Egyptian Army|years=1916–1924}}{{s-aft|after=Sir Charlton Spinks}}2. ^{{cite book |title=The Austen Chamberlain Diary Letters: The Correspondence of Sir Austen Chamberlain with His Sisters Hilda and Ida, 1916-1937 |last=Chamberlain |first=Austen |authorlink= |author2=Robert C.
