Proposed move

[edit]

In view of the improvements to the list by Dormskirk, I suggest we should move the page to List of Governors and Commandants of Sandhurst. Are there any objections to that? Moonraker (talk) 04:17, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. Dormskirk (talk) 10:26, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1869–1879

[edit]

A handwritten note on p. 320 of the Army List for 1869–1870 at the National Archives says that after Hallewell's death on 27 November 1869, no successor as Commandant was appointed, but that the Major and Superintendent of Studies, Addison, was to draw the allowances of Commandant.

The 1874–75 Army List (at p. 368) still lists Addison under his formal appointment of Major and Superintendent of Studies, but Hart's Army List describes him as "Commandant and Supt. of Studies" in 1871 (p. 594) and "Assistant to the Governor" in 1872 (p. 548), 1873 (p. 548) and 1874 (p. 127). The Dictionary of Canadian Biography says of Middleton that on 8 September 1874 "he was sent to the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, to take up a position as its executive officer and assistant to its governor. [...] He was rewarded with the rank of colonel in July 1875 and the appointment of commandant in 1879". Hart's List seems to regard this as merely a retitling of his existing post, as Middleton's date of appointment as "Commandant and Secretary" is still given as 8 September 1874 in 1880 (p. 127).

Major and Superintendent of Studies

[edit]

A list of these officers may be of interest, give their subsequent careers in command of the Royal Military College or the Staff College:

  • 13 May 1842: Lieutenant-Colonel George Walter Prosser, vice Major George Proctor, Adjutant since 1818 ("No. 20099". The London Gazette. 13 May 1842.)
