	Sir William Conrad Reeves [Kt Bach 1889]
	Doubt exists as to Reeves' date of birth - Who's Who says 1838, his obituary in The Times gives it as 1827, and other sources show it as 1821. I have chosen to use the date shown in Who's Who, but I'm willing to amend the date if any reader can provide authoritive reason to do so.
	Reeves holds the distinction of being the first black man to be granted a knighthood. After qualifying as a barrister at the Middle Temple and returning to the West Indies in 1863, he became Attorney General of St. Vincent and subsequently Attorney General of Barbados between 1882 and 1886. During this period he was appointed as a QC in 1883. In 1886 he was appointed Chief Justice of Barbados, the first black man to hold such a position.
	Sir William James Reid [KCIE 1924]
	Sir William shot his wife and then himself in November 1939. The inquest was reported in the Derby Evening Telegraph of 25 November 1939:-
	"Hard hit" by the war and depressed by evacuees billeted at his home, Sir William James Reid shot his wife while they were walking in the woods near his house, then killed himself. Their dog was found sitting between them.
	This was the story told at the inquest held today at their home, Durford Rise, near Petersfield, Hants. The bodies of Sir William and Lady Reid were found in Durford Wood on Thursday after a search lasting 36 hours. They had been missing since Tuesday when, accompanied by a favourite dog, they went for a walk in the woods near by.
	Sir William Reid was formerly acting Governor of Assam. Lieut.-Col. F. Hyde Edwards, retired, of Landfall, Petersfield, a brother of Lady Reid, gave evidence to-day that Sir William and his wife had been living happily together until recently. Sir William was 68, and his wife 64. Ever since the outbreak of war he had shown signs of worry and depression. "On one occasion my sister said to me 'I am so frightened I really believe he is going out of his mind,'" said Lieut.‑Colonel Edwards. The Coroner: Did he make any complaint of having children billeted on him? - No, I have heard no complaints. "He had a most frightful obsession that he was not doing enough for the country," went on Col. Edwards. "He said that he must live more cheaply, and give up his house and car." Sir William would not allow Lady Reid to have a fire in the room until six o'clock owing to a shortage of money. The Coroner: As a matter of fact, he was not short of money? Colonel Edwards: I do not know. He had a pension from the Indian Civil Service and also private means. There was no special reason why Sir William should be so careful, he added.
	Mr Charles Prettejohn, a retired tea planter and neighbour, said that since the war Sir William Reid had largely lost his sense of proportion. "He asked me to go over with him on his wife's behalf to try to get the evacuees taken from the house," continued Mr Prettejohn. "I took him to Midhurst and he saw the authorities. Afterwards he was very dissatisfied because I know he got rather short shrift." The Coroner: The evacuees had depressed him? - Yes, distinctly. When their bodies were found, said Mr Prettejohn, he saw Lady Reid lying on a path in the woods and her husband in a ditch about five feet away.
	Dr W.L. Scott stated that Sir William had a gunshot wound in the chest. Lady Reid had a wound in the head and had apparently been shot from behind. "It was owing to his intense fondness for his wife that he attempted to get rid of the evacuee children billeted with them," the doctor added. "He told me that he was quite sure that his wife could not carry on. He thought she would break down. James Hall, a gamekeeper, said that a dog lead was in Lady Reid's hand. The dog was off the lead and was sitting between them, he thought asleep. Mrs Grace Cunningham, housekeeper, said: "Lady Reid told me that the war had hit them hard, and that Sir William was worried."
	The jury returned a verdict that Sir William Reid murdered his wife and shot himself while of unsound mind.
	Sir James William Restler [nominated KBE 1918, but not invested]
	Restler was nominated as a Knight Commander of the British Empire in the 1918 King's Birthday Honours List, but he died before he could be invested. Accordingly, the Edinburgh Gazette (issue 13416, page 1138) contained a notice dated 7 March 1919 which read:-
	The King has been pleased, by Warrant under His Majesty's Royal Sign Manual, bearing date the 11th February 1919, to ordain and declare that Janet Ferguson Restler, widow of James William Restler, Esquire, late Chairman of the Metropolitan Munitions Committee and Chief Engineer of the Metropolitan Water Board, shall have, hold and enjoy the style, title, place and precedence to which she would have been entitled had her husband survived to be invested with the Insignia of a Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
	Sir James Robinson [nominated Kt Bach 1928, but not invested]
	The name of James Robinson, Lord Mayor of Cardiff in 1913, appeared in the 1928 New Year's Honours List in recognition of his public and political services. Although the New Year's Honours List was dated 2 January 1928, Robinson had died a week earlier, and the retention [of] his name in the Honours List was an act of consideration for his widow.
	Shortly afterwards, the London Gazette (issue 33364, page 1676) contained a notice dated 6 March 1928 which stated that:-
	The King has been graciously pleased, by Warrant under His Majesty's Sign Manual, to grant unto Harriet Agnes, widow of the late Alderman James Robinson, C.B.E., the style, title, rank and precedence to which she would have been entitled had her husband survived to receive the degree, style and title of a Knight Bachelor which His Majesty had signified his intention of conferring upon him.
	Sir David James Gardiner Rose [GCMG 1966]
	Sir David Rose is a perfect example of "being in the wrong place at the wrong time" as is shown in the following report from The Guardian of 11 November 1969:-
	Sir David Rose, aged 46, the retiring Governor-General of Guyana, was crushed to death under a nine-storey scaffolding which collapsed in Whitehall Place, Westminster, yesterday, trapping him, his son John, and two other people in their Daimler.
	The War Office security guard said that after the crash several workmen were hanging from girders on a parapet. "There was a noise like an avalanche, and the scaffolding tumbled from the top of a building," an eyewitness said.
	The limousine, its roof crushed to bonnet level, was buried under a 25-foot pile of twisted metal. It took police and firemen, using cutting equipment, an hour to free it.
	Mr. John Rose was released from Westminster Hospital last night after treatment for shock. The other occupants of the Daimler were Mr. Paul Mittlehaizer, chief protocol officer, who underwent an operation and was later said to be in "fairly good" condition, and a chauffeur, who was able to go home after treatment for shock. An injured scaffold worker was also taken to hospital.
	The scaffold had been erected for a cleaning operation on Whitehall Court. Passers-by tried to free the trapped men almost before the dust settled. Workers at the nearby Ministry of Defence joined in the rescue. The War Office guard said: "The passers-by were straining to lift the girders and free the people inside - but it was hopeless."
	Sir David, who was to relinquish his post in February, when Guyana becomes a republic, was in London to take leave of the Queen. Born in Georgetown, British Guiana, he was the first Guyanese to become Governor-General of his country. He was educated at Mount St. Mary's College, Spinkhill, near Sheffield, and served in the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry during the war. In 1960, he was appointed Federal Defence Officer in the former Federation of the West Indies. Sir David retired when the federation was dissolved in 1962, became Governor of British Guiana in 1964 [this is not correct - the Governor between 1964 and 1966 was Sir Richard Luyt], and when it became independent in 1966, took over as Governor‑General.
	Sir Ronald Ross [KCB 1911 and KCMG 1918]
	According to the World Health Organization, mosquito bites result in the death of more than 1 million people every year, the majority of such deaths being due to malaria. As a result, the mosquito is the greatest killer on the planet. The following biography of Sir Ronald Ross, discoverer of the malarial parasite which proved that malaria was transmitted by mosquitoes, appeared in the April 1964 issue of the monthly Australian magazine Parade:-
	The British garrison at Bangalore, India in 1884 was convinced that the unit doctor was a dangerous eccentric. His behaviour was extraordinary. Vases from his bungalow had been dumped in a shed and he had turned the numerous tubs in his garden upside down. He had even drained an ornamental pool and got rid of all the fish bowls in the area. But Dr. Ronald Ross was far from an eccentric. He was simply doing something constructive to rid himself and the garrison of the hosts of mosquitoes which, he believed, could be the source of malaria. Despite the ridicule his superiors heaped on him, Ross went on to make medical history by proving that the micro-organisms of malaria are spread by mosquitoes. It was this discovery that showed scientists the way to come to grips with one of mankind's most terrible scourges.
	In ancient times several large-scale attempts were made to defeat the disease. The ancient Greeks believed good drainage would help eradicate it. Working on the same principle that the sickness had its origin in stagnant water, the Romans drained the Pontine Marshes. When the Spaniards went to Peru in the 16th century, a medical cure was discovered for the first time although the true source of the disease remained unknown.
	The Spanish Jesuit missionaries discovered the anti-malarial action of cinchona bark. In 1678, King Charles II was cured of malaria by Robert Talbor [1642‑1681] with a secret formula containing cinchona bark. Later, Talbor earned further distinction by curing members of the French royal family. He was appointed personal physician to the Queen of Spain. The bark of another South American tree, known as quina-quina, was also found to contain anti-malarial properties. But about 140 years were to pass before two French chemists, Pierre Pelletier [1788‑1842] and Joseph Caventou [1795‑1877] succeeded in extracting the active constituents from the bark. They called the most important of these quinine.
	Until 1847, South America was the only source of the bark. Then, when the Peruvian crops threatened to fail, the British and Dutch Governments began cultivating the trees in Ceylon and the East Indies. In 1882 a French medical officer in Algeria, Alphonse Laveran [1845‑1922], discovered the malaria parasite in human red blood corpuscles. It was a momentous breakthrough, for it represented the first step towards solving the mystery of malaria. Two years later, Laveran said mosquitoes might be the cause of the disease. But he admitted he was only guessing. It was Ronald Ross who was to prove Laveran's theory.
	Ross was born in India, at Almora near the Himalaya Mountains, on May 13, 1857, son of General Campbell Ross, of the Indian Army. During his early life, Ross moved from one military post to another with his family. In 1865 he was sent to England to be educated at a school near his uncle's home in the Isle of Wight. His uncle possessed a fine library and it was from some of the volumes there that Ross first developed an interest in poetry. He probably acquired his interest in zoology by studying a vast aquarium which was his aunt's chief interest.
	When he was 17, Ross enrolled as a medical student at St. Bartholomew's hospital in London, thus taking the first step towards a career in the Army Medical Service. But medical studies took a second place to a new-found interest in modelling, musical composition and poetry. Shortly before his final examinations he decided to do something constructive about the course he was supposed to be taking. He studied night and day and managed to scrape through and gain entrance to the Royal College of Surgeons. But he failed to qualify as an apothecary. In 1880, Ross took a post as ship's surgeon on an Atlantic tramp steamer. He continued studying for his apothecary examination during his first five voyages on the ship and gathered material for a book he published a few years later. Early in 1881 he qualified as an apothecary and received his commission in the Indian Army Medical Service. He was stationed at the military hospital in Madras.
	His interest in mosquitoes as possible malaria-carriers began in 1884 while he was acting as garrison surgeon at Bangalore. He had to show an interest in them, for they tormented him night and day. In an effort to eliminate them he began throwing out flower vases, upturning garden tubs and emptying ponds. As the clouds of mosquitoes diminished, the jibes of his fellow officers became more biting. But he continued his campaign.
	After Bangalore, Ross was transferred first to Burma and then to the Andaman Islands. He returned to Madras in 1887 on verge of a physical breakdown. He was sent to England on leave, acquired a wife, more medical knowledge, and a reputation as a literary man when he published two more novels. He returned to Bangalore as staff surgeon in 1889. He devoted himself to the discovery of the malaria parasite which, Laveran had claimed, could be found in the blood of malaria victims. It was not his fault he did not succeed. The trouble was actually caused by Laveran, who had given a misleading description of the parasites.
	In 1894 Ross, with his wife and two daughters, again returned to England on leave. One of his first missions there was to contact Dr. [later Sir] Patrick Manson, a leading authority on malaria research. He told Manson that although he had examined the blood of hundreds of malaria patients under a microscope, he had never found a single parasite. Manson convinced him they were there nevertheless. Once more back in India, Ross decided on a new approach. He would seek the parasite, not in the patients' blood, but in the mosquitoes themselves. During two years' steady work, he did not find the parasite. But he did make several important discoveries including a method of calculating mathematically the number of malaria parasites in blood and the time they took to breed.
	By the morning of August 20, 1897, his collection of anopheles mosquitoes had been reduced to three without finding a single parasite. One of the three died during the day. The second was found to be free of parasites. Hot, tired and dispirited, Ross laid the last under his microscope and peered into the instrument's eyepiece. He slowly dissected the insect's tissue. And there in the mosquito's stomach he saw it - a clear and almost circular outline. It was the malaria parasite. Ross wasted no time announcing his historic discovery to the Madras Medical Service. His reward was immediate - he was sent to the front to make sure he concerned himself with more important matters. To add to his bitterness medical superiors poured scorn on "Major Ross's stupid theories."
	While Ross was at the front and deprived of research facilities, an Italian scientist, Giovanni Grassi [1854‑1925], discovered that it was the anopheles mosquito alone that carried the malaria parasite. Had Ross been allowed to continue his work at Madras, it is likely he would have made this important discovery himself. Now with the findings of Ross and Grassi, it was a simple matter to trace the malaria cycle.
	The British Army's refusal to take any notice of his discovery made Ronald Ross disgusted. He resigned from the army and returned to England. But the world of science appreciated his great work. In 1902 he was awarded the Nobel Medical Prize [Laveran was awarded the same prize in 1907] and nine years later he was knighted by King George V. By then he was seriously indulging in what had once been no more than hobbies. He became interested in mathematics and produced several original works on the algebra of space. He also published more novels and poetic works. Sir Ronald Ross, one of mankind's great benefactors, died quietly on September 16, 1932.
	Sir Thomas Ross [Kt Bach 1839]
	Ross, who was Inspecting Commander of the Coast Guard, was knighted by the Marquess of Normanby, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in 1839 in recognition of his actions in saving the lives of some of the crew of the brig Gainsborough after it was wrecked at Malahide in Ireland in November 1838.
	The following extracts are taken from the website Coastguards of Yesteryear which is dedicated to the coastguards who lived and worked around the Irish coast.
	In the Cove, Malahide outside the Band Room stands a granite neoceltic cross on a concrete plinth. The cross commemorates the drowning of three seamen who were lost (names not recorded) from the brig or two-masted square-rigged sailing vessel, the Gainsborough, which was wrecked here in 1838, at Gay Brook Cove, Malahide [about 16km north of Dublin]. It was later thought prudent not to inscribe the memorial as it was hinted that the unlucky Gainsborough was running contraband. Folk memory relates that, as the three drowned seamen were Russians and their names as written in the Russian text and with its hieroglyphic symbols, could not be accurately translated into English.
	A brig was the smallest of the two-masted, square rigged sailing vessels and a type which was at its peak in the first quarter of the 19th century. The type was the workhorse of the sea as common then as the Ford on the roads of today. The specifications of the brig Gainsborough would be as follows: She was registered at 142 tons. Tonnage had nothing do with weight. It was a measurement of volume in the vessel's hull, calculated at a rate of one ton to 100 cubic feet. The actual weight of the Gainsborough - her timbers - is less than 100 modern tones. Dimension - length 75'6" - breadth 21'5" - depth of hold 11'5"
	Extract from the Committee Minutes of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution - 9th January 1839:-
	Read letter from Captain Sparshott of 13th December and Captain Ross, Inspecting Commander of the Swords District, Ireland, stating that the wreck of the Brig Gainsborough on 29th November [1838] at Malahide near Dublin when the Master, two seamen and one boy were saved (three men lost) with very great difficulty by Captain Ross, Inspecting Commander, Mr Jones, Chief Officer, five coastguards and W. Beggs, Master of a small collier, who went off in the 6‑oared galley and after making three attempts to reach the wreck, at which the boat filled every time, were compelled to desist and wait for a more favourable opportunity, the weather having moderated a little they again launched boat and succeeded in taking the survivors from the rigging and landed them. Captain Ross and W. Jones received personal injuries and the whole of the boat's crew are stated to have acted in the best possible manner.
	Ordered - that the gold medal be presented to Captain Ross and the silver medal to Mr. Jones and Mr. Begg and that an award be made of £2 each to Mr. Jones and Mr. Beggs and £1 each to the five coastguard men. The draft for £9 to be sent to Captain Sparshott.
	Sir John Thomas Podger Rowland [Kt Bach 1929]
	On the afternoon of 28 March 1933, the three crew and 12 passengers in the Armstrong Whitworth Argosy II aeroplane named City of Liverpool which was operated by Imperial Airways, were killed when the plane crashed near Dixmude in northern Belgium, as reported in The Times on 29 March:-
	The Imperial Airways liner City of Liverpool, on the London-Brussels-Cologne service, took fire in the neighbourhood of Dixmude, Belgium, when returning to Croydon yesterday afternoon, and crashed. All the passengers, pilot, and crew, numbering 15 persons, were killed. The cause of the accident, Imperial Airways states, is at present unknown. The following is a list of victims, most of whom were British [then follows a list of the names and addresses of those killed, including a Mr. Roland, with no address shown, but who was later identified as Sir John Rowland].
	The City of Liverpool had left the aerodrome at Haren, Brussels, at 3.36 p.m. for London. It took off normally, and nothing untoward happened until the village of Eessen, in the neighbourhood of Dixmude, was reached, when the machine caught fire, as a result, it is assumed, of an explosion, and crashed. According to those in the vicinity, the machine continued its flight for over a mile after taking fire.
	An eye-witness gives the following account:- "When the machine had passed over the village of Clercken an engine caught fire, and in a few seconds the whole machine was in flames. It turned over several times, and the pilot could be seen trying to right it. When the first flames appeared the aeroplane was at an altitude of between 600ft and 700ft. Finally it fell at an awful speed and crashed in a ploughed field.
	Debris of goods, bags, and objects of all kinds were lying on the roads and in fields for a distance of over 600 yards. A woman passenger, Miss Thomson, threw herself out of the machine when it was about 100 yards from the point where it crashed, and another passenger jumped out just before it touched the ground. The aeroplane was so completely destroyed that only a skeleton of framework remains. Most of the passengers had remained in the cabin and were burned.
	The villagers of Woumen hurried to the scene, but from the first it was clear that all efforts at rescue were vain. Imperial Airways at once sent a relief aeroplane and the Belgian company, Sabena, sent two ambulances. Gendarmes arrived from Dixmude and kept the large crowd which was drawn to the spot from approaching the wreckage. In the course of the evening the bodies of the victims were taken to Dixmude in Red Cross ambulances.
	It has been suggested that this was the first airline crash caused by sabotage, since one of the passengers, a German‑born emigrant to the UK by the name of Albert Voss, who practised as a dentist in Manchester, had supposedly been seen to have jumped from the plane before it crashed. At the inquest in Voss's death his estranged brother accused him of being engaged in drug smuggling between Germany and England, and, aware that the police were watching him, deliberately caused the plane to crash. Although the crash investigators were able to narrow the cause of the crash down to fire caused by some combustible substance, it was impossible to say whether the combustion was accidental or deliberate, and the inquest jury returned an open verdict.
	Sir Charles Snodgrass Ryan [KBE 1919]
	The following [edited] biography of Sir Charles Ryan is taken from the December 1965 issue of the monthly Australian magazine Parade:-
	During the Russo-Turkish War of 1878 a group of Greek girls arranged a party for some officers of Osman Pasha's army, then quartered round Plevna, near the Danube. Among those invited was the 25-year-old Australian doctor Charles Ryan, who was glad to forget the horrors of an appalling campaign in a few hours' merriment. Suddenly the gaiety was cut short by the abrupt entrance of a ferocious old Rumanian armed with a blunderbuss. The grandfather of one of the hostesses, the old man declared his hatred his hatred of all Englishmen, and, glaring at Ryan, announced that he intended shooting him. Farewelled by shrieks from the girls the Australian took off through the nearest window. Thus for the first and only time in his life Charles Ryan, who lived to become one of Australia's most famous surgeons, fled for his life.
	When World War I began Ryan's reputation was well established in Victoria. But when it ended he was personally known to thousands of Diggers all over Australia. Although the complete martinet when he was in uniform, Ryan's autocratic manner and caustic wit masked a kindly nature. As a result he became an easy victim to a hard-luck story provided it was well put over.
	It was a long road which led a Victorian country boy to the battlefields of the Balkans and the Caucasus and, almost 40 years later, to Gallipoli and a knighthood. Born in the little Victorian town of Longwood in 1853, Ryan decided on a medical career while still at while still at school. Working his passage to Edinburgh, he graduated in medicine and surgery and then sought post-graduate experience in Bonn and several other famous continental universities. Ryan was in Vienna in 1876 when he learned that the Turks needed surgeons to serve with their army in the war against Serbia and Montenegro. To secure an appointment was easy. Ryan's only difficulty was to pay his fare, as he had lent most of his money to a struggling poet. An obliging pawnbroker solved his problem, enabling him to become the only Australian who ever pledged his watch to join the Turkish army.
	The horrors of the Balkan war appalled the imagination. While disease and famine stalked the stricken land, both sides committed atrocities scarcely paralleled since the Middle Ages. Chloroform was so scarce that Ryan had to steel himself to perform the most agonising operations without anaesthesia. The only bandages available were torn from rolls of cheap print. The dye ran, but that meant nothing to the corrupt officials in Constantinople. While Sultan Abdul Hamid lounged in his palace on the Bosphorus, typhus and cholera ravaged his armies. In summer dysentery carried by the flies which swarmed over the war zone in filthy clouds killed more than bullets. In winter many of the wounded froze to death where they fell.
	Once Ryan was summoned from the war zone at the orders of a Turkish grandee who wanted him to attend one of the ladies of his harem. The consultation was far from satisfactory. Led into the dimly lit zenana by armed guards, the doctor was allowed only to examine his patient's hand, thrust from behind a curtain. Armed with drawn scimitars, a brace of portly eunuchs stood by to maintain decorum.
	The Serbian war gave Ryan such a high opinion of the courage and fortitude of Turkish soldiers that he remained with the army when Russia declared war on the Turks and launched a force across the Danube. Ryan was with the force which, under Osman Pasha, put up a heroic but foredoomed defence of Plevna in 1878. When the pasha surrendered after a three-month siege the Australian doctor helped to succour the refugees who fled across the December snows in one of history's most tragic routs.
	After the flight from Plevna, Ryan was moved to Asia Minor, where he was involved in the desperate siege of Erzeroum. During the attack on this great mountain fortress Charles Ryan was captured by the Russians. Astounded to find an Australian in the Caucasus they treated him courteously and released him when, on March 3, 1878, the Treaty of San Stefano ended the war. Having been decorated by the Sultan, who also appointed him Turkish consul in Melbourne, Ryan left for home.
	Although only 27 he had acquired more experience than many surgeons twice his age. Thus, his first Australian operation, performed at the Melbourne Hospital, attracted a big crowd of surgeons and students. All were anxious to see the young man who had distinguished himself on the remote battlefields of the Balkans and Asia Minor.
	In June 1880 Ryan played a part in the Ned Kelly drama when the Government asked him to attend the wounded bush-ranger after his capture at Glenrowan. While caring for Kelly on the train journey back to Melbourne, Ryan learned that an immense crowd was waiting at Spencer St. terminal to see the prisoner. So he had the train stopped at North Melbourne and spirited his patient away to hospital.
	Although occasionally an odd Turk or two would show up and ask his assistance, Ryan's duties as Turkish consul were mainly social. Strangers at government functions sometimes received a shock when they found that the representative of the Sultan was not an exotic figure in a red fez. Once in 1910 his status caused some confusion at an official dinner given to Field-Marshal Lord Kitchener. The factotum who announced the guests had been taken ill and a parliamentary messenger was impressed as a last-minute substitute. Briefed as to the necessity of observing strict protocol when announcing new arrivals he did well until Ryan and his wife appeared. By then he had bolstered his confidence with a few drinks so that the assembly was startled to hear him proclaim in slurred tones: "His Honour the Sultan of Turkey and Mrs. Turkey."
	Although Ryan was 61 and had practically retired when World War I broke out, his great reputation got him into the AIF [Australian Imperial Force] and he landed on Gallipoli as a member of General Birdwood's staff. When tragic errors wrecked arrangements for evacuating the wounded, Ryan was one the heroic team of surgeons who worked on the beach dressing wounds and operating until they reeled with fatigue. Later he played a notable part in getting the casualties away in transports hastily turned into hospital ships.
	After taking one batch of wounded to Egypt he returned to Gallipoli. But, living under constant shellfire in a burrow in Anzac Gully, topped off by an attack of enteric fever, was too much for a man of his age. Despite his protests the old campaigner was relegated to a base job as consulting surgeon to the AIF, first in Cairo and later in London. As final reviewer of all medical verdicts, Ryan had a thankless task. Whether a man returned to Australia or was sent back to France depended entirely on his judgment.
	Almost every soldier in. the AIF could relate some story about Charlie Ryan. One of the most popular was that of the hard-bitten Digger who stood in stony silence while Ryan examined him. "Have you been examined before?" Ryan asked. "Yessir." "Then what damned fool passed you?" "You did," said the Digger. It was rumoured that Ryan was prepared to give a trip back to Australia to any man who could pitch him a tale he had not heard before. The only man who ever claimed it was a white-haired veteran who frankly said that he had had enough of the war now that his pipsqueak of a grandson was command of his platoon.
	At the end of the war Major-General Sir Charles Ryan was the most decorated surgeon in the world. Although no longer the martinet of Horseferry Road he was still active enough to beat up a young thug who broke into his London flat. But his days of professional practice were over. When he came back to Australia it was to devote himself to birds, botany, photography and collecting apocryphal stories about himself. Although Sir Charles had suffered from a diseased heart for some time before his death in 1926 it did not stop him from taking a last trip abroad. On the way back he died just as his ship reached Port Adelaide. He was 73.
	Sir Julian Emanuel Salomons [Kt Bach 1891]
	The following biography of Salomons appeared in the March 1968 issue of the monthly Australian magazine Parade. It is recommended that his biography be read in conjunction with that of Sir William Windeyer.
	Members of the NSW Legislative Council tensed with excitement as a dapper little man rose to his feet at a nod from the President on the evening of October 2, 1895. For a moment the man's jaw worked convulsively as he gazed around the Chamber. Then he began to speak. He had become involved in a great legal controversy. Sir Julian Salomons told the House, in the course of which the administration of justice in New South Wales had been dragged into grave disrepute. Judges had been maligned, witnesses suborned, professional men forced to break the confidence of a client. He himself had been accused of defaming a colleague in a fit of hallucination. It was even alleged that he was suffering from a form of nervous disorder which rendered him incapable of acting responsibly.
	Talking at first in low tones, thickly and haltingly as though strangled by emotion, Salomons detailed the circumstances which had caused him to speak out publicly. And before long he succeeded in dispelling all doubts about his sanity. Then like a great advocate relentlessly forging his case link by link, the blood rushing to his face each time he hammered home a vital point, he turned the attack and became his enemies'' accuser. Gripping its audience for a full three hours before the the ageing orator sat down exhausted, the speech was hailed as the greatest ever made in the Council. Its most important immediate effect, however, was to resolve public anxiety over the notorious George Dean poisoning case.
	George Dean was a ferryboat captain who was found guilty of attempting to murder his wife. After being condemned to death, Dean had been dramatically pardoned. For months on end while lawyers argued over the case and reviled one another, New South Wales had been treated to a spectacle of justice being reduced to a farce. Now Salomons, in that mighty speech, not only convinced the House of Dean's guilt, but gave back to the law the public respect necessary for its administration.
	Probably the most outstanding colonial barrister of the 19th century, he was born near Birmingham, England, in 1836 [actually 4 November 1835] and emigrated to Australia when he was 17. Salomons (sometimes Solomons) was a Jew and was ever ready to boast proudly about his ancestry. Indeed it was the generosity of the Jewish community in Sydney that enabled him to return to England and read for the Bar in the first place. In the years to come Salomons never forgot this kindness. Soon after his admission to the Bar, a prominent Jewish dentist, Louis Bertrand, was charged with murder and Salomons found a chance to repay his benefactors. Appalled that one of their ancient faith might suffer the terrible stigma of being put to death, the community rallied around to provide the dentist with the most expensive lawyers in Sydney. But all the eloquence of William Bede Dalley and William Windeyer could not prevent Bertrand from being found guilty and sentenced to death. Then somebody remembered the keen, untried young barrister, Julian Salomons. Poring over his law books deep into the night, the young lawyer eventually came up with a technical point which justified a re-hearing of certain aspects of the case. In the end the original verdict was confirmed, but Salomons had succeeded in raising so many doubts about minor details of the trial, that the NSW Executive Council decided to intervene and recommended that the death sentence be commuted to life imprisonment.
	Fiercely loyal to his principles and always ready to sacrifice a fee to fight for a friend, Salomons won a unique reputation in his profession for personal integrity. Backed up by a sharp wit and a talent for withering invective, it made him one of most formidable public figures of his time. Once when Salomons was closeted in his chambers with a pair of solicitors, the consultation was rudely interrupted by a hawker singing his wares in the corridor outside. Suddenly the man put his head in the door and called: "Do you want some bananas, Guvs. From Fiji. Very cheap." Salomons turned on him in a fury. "You impudent blockhead. Here I am negotiating a deal with the two biggest banana merchants in the country and you offer me a beggarly dozen for four-pence."
	Sometimes even judges trembled at the prospect of being put in their place by the aggressive little attorney. Once during a case that was going badly, the judge interrupted proceedings to remark that a bad smell was coming from under the court room. "I am not surprised," Salomons sniffed. "Some of most distinguished early lawyers were buried on this site. They must be turning in their graves to hear the bad law heard from the Bar - and from the Bench," he added, turning towards the judge. Visiting legal celebrities were amazed at the latitude Salomons was often allowed. Pretending to be sternly unamused by any attempt at wit from
	Late in his career, after the Federal Government had set up the High Court presided over by Chief Justice Sir Samuel Griffith, Salomons was briefed to appear for NSW in a constitutional case which involved the breaching of State laws by Commonwealth instrumentalities. When he heard Salomons had been retained, Griffith remarked: "Well, I suppose he's the only man at the NSW Bar who could be relied on to cheek me." The judge's fears were well founded. At one stage, during presentation of his case Salomons commented that no lawyer could support a particular proposition. Griffith interrupted indignantly. "You have forgotten that judges of this court have already so held." "Ah, so," Salomons retorted icily. "But I did not mention judges. I said no lawyer would say so."
	Before long the High Court was reversing judgment after judgment sent up to it on appeal from the NSW Supreme Court. But Salomons refused to change his opinion of the Federal Chief Justice. One day he claimed to have invented a new rule for the guidance of the Sydney Bench. "The Full Court ought to give judgment," he told Judge [Robert Darlow] Pring, "like this: "For these reasons we are unanimously of the opinion that the case should go to the plaintiff. But to save trouble and expense to the parties of an appeal to the High Court we order judgment to be entered for the defendant."
	Juries were another pet aversion. Once on a hot summer afternoon in Court the barrister C.E. Pilcher remarked on the great improvement in ventilation brought about by the two newly installed electric fans. Sitting nearby, Salomons flashed back. "No, no, Pilcher," he called. "Haven't you heard? They're the latest device for administering our trial-by-lottery jury system. You put the plaintiff's case into one machine, the defendant's into the other. Whichever stops first wins." But Salomons was careful to confine his pungent comments on judges and juries to a close professional circle. To the world at large the little lawyer was better known as a genial punster. Once he was asked for a subscription for a statue of the Rev. John Dunmore Lang to be erected in Wynyard Square. At tedious length the collector expatiated on the need for honouring the dead while Salomons scribbled out a cheque. Glancing at the figure, the man thanked him effusively and was about to walk away when he stopped. "Excuse me," he said. "You've forgotten to sign it." "Not at all," Salomons told him. "You were talking so much about old time's sake, I though we would let 'Auld Lang Syne.'" Salomon's puns showed his quick mind, but it was not this quality alone that made him the foremost figure at the Bar. It was his unrivalled knowledge of cases and reverence for the majesty of the law.
	In 1886, when Sir Julian Salomons was made Chief Justice of NSW, Sydney newspapers hailed the appointment as the most fitting that could have been made. But before long it was apparent that at least two members of the judiciary were violently opposed to his being elevated over their heads. Being the colony's Chief Justice was an honour which Salomons had secretly coveted since his early days at the Bar. Now, however, realising that an open row over his appointment would diminish the status of the whole legal profession, he resigned the office within 12 days. After that, Salomon's own personal standing within the profession stood higher than ever.
	Nine years later, when a young barrister, Richard Denis Meagher [1866‑1931], sought advice on a delicate professional matter he turned instinctively to Salomons. Meagher had recently defended a man, George Dean, accused of having tried to poison his wife by adding small doses of arsenic to her daily glass of lemon syrup. Meagher lost the case and Dean was sentenced to death. The verdict, however, created a public outcry with meetings throughout the State demanding Dean's retrial. The judge, William Windeyer, had been prejudiced against Dean from the outset, it was alleged. He had bull-dozed the jury into giving a verdict against its conscience.
	With the legal firm of Crick and Meagher prominently in the van, public-spirited citizens went about gathering new evidence to justify the case's reopening. In the end a commission of enquiry was appointed, doubts were thrown on the original finding and Dean was pardoned. One unexpected sequel of this was that Meagher was accused of having put up a singularly weak case in Dean's defence. But how could he have done any better knowing all the time Dean was guilty? Meagher complained to Salomons.
	Salomons was staggered and asked Meagher how he knew Dean was guilty. Then Meagher revealed that one night he had gone to Dean's cell and pretended the police knew everything. Dean had then made a full confession. Wrestling with his conscience, wondering whether he could betray Meagher's confidence for the sake of justice, Salomons decided to confide in one or two colleagues. Soon after, Salomons learned that Meagher was accusing him of having made the whole story up, of being an aged neurotic subject to hallucinations. All at once he knew what action to take. In a magnificent speech in the Legislative Council the old lawyer traversed the whole affair, marshalling the evidence in a way that left no doubt about what had really happened. Next day a chemist on the North Shore broke down and admitted he had sold Dean the poison.
	One man in particular heaved a vast sigh of relief on hearing that the unsavoury George Dean case was ended. He was the judge, [Sir] William Windeyer, who had originally insisted on Dean's guilt. Ironically he was also the judge who had most vigorously opposed Salomons's appointment as Chief Justice nine years before.
	Sir Julian Salomons, one of the great men of Australia's legal history, retired from practice in 1905 and died just four years later.
	Sir (Edward) George Saltmarsh [Kt Bach 1915]
	Sir George was killed in a train derailment in March 1931. The following report appeared in The Times of India on 24 March of that year:-
	It is officially announced that six persons have been killed, nine seriously injured and a number of others less seriously hurt when the Royal Scot, which left Euston for Glasgow jumped the rails when approaching Leighton Buzzard (Bedfordshire) and overturned.
	There were, however, many remarkable escapes. Over a half of the famous Glasgow Orpheus choir, returning from London, where they had broadcast from Queen's Hall, were on board the train. All of them escaped unhurt. A Glasgow business man had just left the compartment next to the engine when the crash occurred. He was thrown to the floor, but escaped uninjured.
	Four passengers had just seated themselves in the dining car for luncheon when the crash came. Crockery plates and glass from the windows fell on them like a shower and the floor suddenly collapsed, but they found themselves still sitting on their seats on the permanent way, unhurt. One of them expressed the opinion that had the accident happened five minutes later, when the dining car would have been packed, the deathroll would have been far higher.
	There were lighter incidents in the disaster. An old lady, who was pinned down by the debris, kept on shouting: "I want my umbrella." An elderly man, as soon as he jumped clear, ran towards the platform shouting: "When can I catch the next train to Glasgow?"
	With the light of acetylene flares rescue work was continued till late at night on the twisted wreckage that was the Royal Scot, the fastest train in the world, which achieved a record non-stop run from London to Glasgow, of 400 miles in 1928. She recently attained a speed of 90 miles an hour and was yesterday approaching a speed of 70 miles when the engine reared like a horse and slithered to the side with a shrieking hiss, while the carriages were piled up like a contorted snake, imprisoning passengers for so many hours. Hefty rescuers wielding hatchets and crowbars and mechanics operating oxy-acetylene apparatus sliced girders to release the sufferers. Surgeons were using saws and knives. In one case workers spent three hours in trying to reach a man who sipped brandy and expressed gratitude for their efforts, but finally died. His body is still unextricated and unidentified. Mrs Margaret Lang and her daughter Dorothy were kept alive with oxygen for a similar period. Dorothy Lang's foot had to be amputated before she could be released. It was her eighteenth birthday. [Unfortunately she later died.] The fatalities include Sir George Saltmarsh, who has been identified by the papers found in his pocket.
	Sir George Saltmarsh was President of the Indian Wheat Committee in 1915. During the European War he was Vice Chairman of the Allies' Wheat Purchasing Committee (1915‑1916) and a member of the Royal Commission on Wheat Supplies (1916) and later Vice Chairman. He was Commander of the Order of the Crown of Italy, an Officer of the Legion of Honour and Commander of the Order of Leopold II. He was 61 years old.
	At the subsequent inquiry into the cause of the crash, it was found that the driver's view had been obstructed by smoke from the train's funnel which led to him being unable to see one of the signals.
	Sir John Savage [Kt Bach 1872]
	The following report on the inquest held after Sir John's suicide appeared in Freeman's Journal and Daily Commercial Advertiser [Dublin] on 18 June 1883:-
	An inquest was held on Friday at half-past three o'clock, before Dr. Mussen, coroner, and a jury.
	Lady Savage, being examined, deposed - The deceased, Sir John Savage, was my husband. He was sixty-nine years of age last June. I left him in his own bedroom a little after nine o'clock last night. He was then in a desponding state of mind, and has been so for a long time, but particularly so last night, but he made use of no expression to lead me to believe that he contemplated taking his life. He did say that "it will be soon over with me. I cannot stand this much longer; the worry is killing me." I did not hear him leaving his bedroom this morning. He usually rises about five o'clock to take a bath. A little after four o'clock I woke up and lay listening to hear if I could hear him stirring, for he usually used to get up and take a little medicine about that time. I lay and lay for a long time a never a sound, and I said to myself he is in a nice sleep now. Not hearing anything for a long time I got up and went into his room, and he was not there. I then went to the bathroom, and it was locked and barred. I shouted and shouted, and then the servants came, and one of them got something and opened the door. She then peeped in first, and said, "Oh, such a pool - such a pool!" I then peeped in, and I just gave one look, and we both ran away, and that was the last I saw: that is all I can tell. The servant to whom I have referred was Eliza Forman. His (Sir John Savage's) pulse was at 120 on Monday night. I sent off for Dr. Wilson and the Rev. Dr. Rodgers.
	By Constable Shannon - The other persons residing in the house with me are two servant girls and a young lady, Miss Kinnear. When I found that my husband was not in his bedroom I went to the bathroom, and when I found that it was locked the first thing that struck me was his razor, whether it was away. I at once went back to the bedroom, and when I found the razor was away I knew what was wrong.
	Eliza Forman was then examined, and deposed - I was called up by Lady Savage at about half-past five o'clock this morning. She called out to me to open the bathroom door, as Sir John was inside, she said, and the door locked on the inside. I forced the door open with a chisel. I looked in first, and saw Sir John lying with a pool of blood round his feet. He was beside the bath. His feet were towards me. I closed the door, and called out to the other girl to get the gardener and coachman.
	By a Juror - He had only his nightshirt on. He was not in his dressing-gown. He made no movement, and appeared to be quite dead. I thought that Sir John had been in a depressed state for some time past.
	Lady Savage, re-examined, deposed - He went to bed about a quarter-past nine o'clock. His usual time was much earlier, but he was not home last evening until six o'clock. He was in Sir John Preston's office, and he did not get home till later than usual.
	James Sanderson, sworn and examined, said - I am coachman in Sir John's service. I was called about a quarter to six o'clock by Eliza Nicholson, the cook, to go up to the bathroom. I went in and saw Sir John, who was lying on the floor quite dead. I did not put my hands upon him. I noticed the pool of blood in which he was lying, and also the cut on the leg.
	Lady Savage here said that Sir John was troubled with varicose veins, and she supposed he had cut these, thinking that by so doing he would bleed to death.
	Dr. Wilson deposed that he had made an examination of the body. There were three wounds upon it, two being upon the right leg and one on the throat. The latter had been the immediate cause of death.
	The jury returned a verdict that the deceased committed suicide whilst labouring under temporary insanity.
	Sir Robert Hermann Schomburgk [Kt Bach 1844]
	Schomburgk's death was reported in the Gawler (South Australia) Bunyip of 3 June 1865:-
	Sir Robert Hermann Schomburgk, Her Majesty's recent Consul at Bangkok, a gentleman distinguished for his knowledge of geography and natural history and for his many travels and scientific investigations in South America, was the son of the Rev. J.F. Lewis Schomburgk, Protestant Minister at Thuringia, by his wife, M[a]ddle Krippendorff, daughter of Herr J. Krippendorff, councillor of the Princes of Reuss Gera. He was born in Prussia in 1804. He was, in 1831, engaged in the survey of Anegada, one of the Virgin Islands, in the West Indies, and its dangerous surrounding coral reefs. He, in 1835, under the protection of the Royal Geographical Society and under the patronage of the British Government, proceeded to Guiana, and explored its previously unknown interior. This he did so well that the Geographical Society gave him their gold medal on his return to England in 1839. In the course of this expedition he discovered the "Victoria Regia," a gigantic flower of the lily tribe. He was, on Dec. 10, 1840, appointed commissioner for surveying and marking out the boundaries of British Guiana … This mission he successfully carried out, and he was knighted Dec 26, 1844.
	His brother, Moritz Richard Schomburgk [1811‑1891], was a well-known figure in South Australia, having emigrated there following the unrest in Europe in 1848. He was Director of the Adelaide Botanic Garden from 1865 until his death.
	Schomburgk later became British Consul to the Dominican Republic and retired as Consul in Bangkok. However, it is his work in marking out the boundaries of British Guiana for which he is best remembered. Unfortunately, it could be argued that he did his job too well, since the question of Guiana's borders on both sides of the country - with Suriname (formerly Dutch Guiana) to the east and with Venezuela to the west - were subsequently the subject of longstanding disputes. The question of the border between British Guiana and Venezuela reached fever pitch in the 1890s and caused great friction between the United Kingdom and the United States.
	The results of Schomburgk's survey became known as the "Schomburgk Line," which extended well beyond the areas already occupied by the British and gave them the control of the mouth of the Orinoco River. Naturally this was disputed by Venezuela, who claimed all of British Guiana west of the Essequibo River, more than half of the area occupied by the British. The dispute simmered until 1895 when the United States became involved, invoking the Monroe Doctrine. Such intervention forced the United Kingdom to submit to arbitration of the disputed territory. Five arbitrators were appointed - Professor Friedrich de Martens [1845‑1909] of the Russian Imperial Foreign Office as President; Melville Fuller [1833‑1910], Chief Justice of the United States, and David Josiah Brewer [1837‑1910], an Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court both representing Venezuela, and Lord Russell of Killowen (Lord Chief Justice of the UK) and Sir Richard Henn Collins, later Baron Collins, representing the United Kingdom.
	The result of the arbitration was reported in the Adelaide Evening Journal of 5 October 1899:-
	The Tribunal appointed under the Treaty of Washington, signed on February 2, 1897, to arbitrate in the matter of the disputed boundary between Venezuela and British Guiana, announced its decision in Paris yesterday. Professor de Martens, of the Imperial Foreign Office of St. Petersburg, as President of the Court, delivered the award, which he said represented the unanimous endorsement of his colleagues … The Court discussed the British claim to the possession of Barima Point; a cape at the mouth of the River Orinoco. It was pointed out that there had been no Dutch possession at Barima for more than a century before the cession of the colony to England, and that the Spaniards, from whom the Venezuelans obtained their claim, had shown themselves always jealous and suspicious of any Dutch attempt even to approach Barima, the western border of the Dutch colonies having been further to the eastward. The arbitrators therefore decided that Barima Point and the mouth of the Orinoco - the possession of which Great Britain had not sought - belonged rightfully to Venezuela. In regard to other territories the Court rejected the extreme Venezuelan claim to the large slice of country extending from the Amakuru River to the Essequibo River, embracing an area of several hundred thousand squar miles. The Court paid great respect to the boundary fixed by Sir Robert Schomburgk, the Prussian scientist, who was sent out to Demerara in 1835 by the Royal Geographical Society to explore the interior of British Guiana, and, with the exception of surrendering Barima Point to Venezuela, adhered mainly to the line which he had drawn as separating the two countries. The total effect of the award is that Venezuela obtains less than Great Britain ever offered to acknowledge as belonging to her, while British Guiana is declared to include all the goldfields and forests which Venezuela three years ago, encouraged by American speculators, stoutly endeavoured to bring within her boundaries. Great Britain has also obtained equal navigation rights with Venezuela on the Orinoco River.
	Unfortunately, this was not the end of the matter. Venezuela raised the border question at the United Nations in 1962. Eventually the matter was discussed between the governments of the United Kingdom, Venezuela and the then British Guiana, culminating in the signing, in February 1966, of an Agreement to Resolve the Controversy over the Frontier between Venezuela and British Guiana, more commonly known as the Geneva Agreement. This agreement is, however, transitory in nature, and has yet to lead to a definitive resolution of the border dispute.
	Sir John Scott [KCB 1865]
	Sir John's obituary, published in the London Morning Post of 20 January 1873, reads:-
	General Sir John Scott, colonel of the 7th (the Queen's Own) Regiment of Hussars, whilst riding in Rotten-row on Saturday afternoon between one and two o'clock, fell from his horse, which was going at a walking pace, and on being raised was found to be in a dying state. The melancholy occurrence took place immediately opposite the officers' quarters of Knightsbridge Barracks, and being seen by some of the officers from their windows they immediately ordered a body of their men to proceed to the assistance of the fallen equestrian, not knowing at the time his rank. The general was at once borne into the officers' quarters, and several medical men immediately attended and pronounced that life was extinct. It was shortly afterwards ascertained his name and status in the army.
	The late Sir John Scott was the only son of Mr. J.F. Scott, by Mary, daughter of Mr. John Serjeant, of Whitehaven, Cumberland. He was born in 1797 and married in 1829, Alicia, eldest daughter of the Rev. H. Forster Mills, Chancellor of York, and granddaughter of Archbishop Markham. After his rudimentary education at Chiswick he went to Westminster; in May, 1815, he entered the army, and shortly afterwards joined the forces under the Duke of Wellington in Paris. He was subsequently present with the French army, under Marshal [Étienne Maurice] Gérard at the siege of Antwerp in December, 1832, and, by permission of the marshal, he accompanied the troops upon every occasion during the siege. In October 1838, he was appointed to the command of the cavalry of the division of the army of the Indus; as brigadier served in that rank during the campaigns of 1838 and 1839 in Afghanistan, and was present at the attack and capture of Ghuznee. During the latter part of 1839 he commanded a detached column, consisting of the whole of the artillery (excepting four guns), the cavalry, and one battalion of infantry - this column was destined to secure the subjugation of Upper Scinde, and to co-operate with the main column under Sir Thomas Willshere, directed against Khelat; was also at the action of Maharajpore on the 29th of December, 1843, where he commanded a brigade of cavalry, as also at the battle of Sobraon.
	Sir John was nominated a Companion of the Order of the Bath for his services in Afghanistan, and an aide-de-camp to the Queen after the battle of Sobraon, and in 1865 he was made a Knight Commander of the Bath. He had received numerous medals for his services previously to being on the staff in India. He was appointed colonel of the 3rd Dragoon Guards in 1859, till in June, 1866, he was transferred to the colonelcy of the 7th Hussars. As already stated, he entered the army in 1815, and by purchase obtained his lieutenancy in October, 1815; captain in June, 1821; and major in November 1826 - he was indebted for his promotions to his services in the field - lieutenant-colonel August, 1830 and colonel in June, 1846. He was promoted to major-general, June 20, 1854; lieutenant-general, October 13, 1860; and general, May 1, 1868.
	Sir Ernest Scott [nominated Kt Bach 1939, but not invested]
	Scott was an Australian historian whose name appeared as an intended Knight Bachelor on the 1939 King's Birthday Honour List, but who died before he could receive the accolade. Subsequently, the London Gazette (issue 34949, page 5575) contained a notice dated 20 September 1940 which states that:-
	The King has been pleased, by Warrant under the Royal Sign Manual, bearing date the 27th ultimo, to ordain and declare Emily Illenden Fortuna Scott, widow of Ernest Scott, Gentleman, of Vermont, Victoria, in the Commonwealth of Australia, shall have, hold and enjoy the style, title, rank and precedence to which she would have been entitled had her husband survived and received the degree, style and title of a Knight Bachelor.
	Sir George Scovell [GCB 1860]
	After bemoaning the apparent inability of writers to add anything fresh to the history of the Napoleonic Wars, Geoffrey Moorhouse, writing in the Guardian of 15 September 2001, noted that a recently published book did indeed break fresh ground. The book concerned is The Man Who Broke Napoleon's Codes: The Story of George Scovell by Mark Urban [Faber 2001]. The relevant portion of Moorhouse's review reads:-
	The Duke [of Wellington] was far superior to Napoleon in acquiring information about his enemy. Bonaparte relied upon the London newspapers, but Wellington obtained his intelligence in the field. Mark Urban's book really does work a fresh seam here in telling the story of "The Man Who Broke Napoleon's Codes", and George Scovell appears to be a brand-new character in the vast literature of the Napoleonic Wars.
	He was a 'prentice engraver who wanted to be a cavalry commander, but that was beyond his means. He did, however, obtain a commission in the army, and, because he was a natural linguist, was shunted from quartermastering to sifting the reports that came in from Spanish guerrillas during the Peninsular War. Then he was handed a book on the art of deciphering, which may have been composed by a monk, and told to get on with it. The French had excelled at ciphers since Louis XIV's time, but these had been getting more and more complicated, the tables on which they were based having risen steadily from 600 numerals to more than twice that many, with occasional hieroglyphs added for further bewilderment.
	The trouble was that friends were beginning to find them as difficult to handle as any foe and occasionally took short cuts, by mixing code with plain language. "Ah, my friend", read one, "he could not disguise that he 20. 14. 59. 29 the 36. 49. 112. 63 …" This gave Scovell his big break. He worked out that in the Great Paris Cipher, then in favour for the most secret of messages and based on 1,400 characters, all those from 1,201 to the end of the sequence represented proper nouns. Then some stupid French clerk copied an encoded message to Madrid in plain language and it was intercepted, and Scovell's work was all downhill after that. Before long, there was a little office in Abchurch Street, London, clearly the ancestor of Bletchley Park, where the government maintained a few fellows skilled in the black arts of secret writing.
	But it was Scovell's pathfinding work that made it possible for Wellington to triumph at Salamanca; before the battle started he knew exactly what the French dispositions were, and what tactics they proposed to adopt. He was also aware that Napoleon and his brother Joseph, king of Spain, had fallen out. Scovell rose from major to half-colonel for what he achieved there. He finished up as Major-General Sir George Scovell, Lieutenant-Governor [and later Governor] of Sandhurst.
