Milo George Talbot (14 September 1854 – 3 September 1931) CB was a British Army officer. The son of the 4th Baron Talbot of Malahide, he was born into an Anglo-Irish family and attended Wellington College and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich before being commissioned as an officer in the British Army's Royal Engineers. He played a single match of first-class cricket as a young man for the Gentlemen of the South against the Players of the North. Talbot served on the staff of General Ross during the Second Anglo-Afghan War and remained in that country as a member of the Afghan Boundary Commission. He returned to Britain as a staff officer before returning to active duty during the Anglo-Egyptian conquest of Sudan. During this time he was present at the Battle of Omdurman and served on secondment to the Egyptian Army as a Major-General. Talbot retired in 1905 but was recalled to duty during the First World War when he gave advice on plans for the Gallipoli Campaign and the defence of Sudan.
