G. Wyman (George Wyman) Bury

Born on January 3, 1874, George Wyman Bury was a British explorer and naturalist who also worked as an author, Arabist, and political officer in the British army. Records from the UK National Archives identify him as an explorer and naturalist, and multiple catalog and biographical sources describe a career closely tied to southern Arabia.

Bury is best remembered for writing about Yemen and nearby regions from direct experience. Book listings and biographical summaries connect him with works including Arabia Infelix, or the Turks in Yamen, and describe him as someone who spent much of his life in the Aden–Yemen borderlands. That background helped give his travel and regional writing a practical, on-the-ground quality.

He died on September 23, 1920. Although he is not widely known today, his name still appears in archival records and historical references as a figure associated with exploration, natural history, and British writing on Arabia in the early twentieth century.
