He was appointed to the command of the Quetta Division in 1903, and vacated the post on November 30, 1907, hav- ing received. a six months extension of the usual tenure, and been`pro-l mated to Lieutenant-General. Return- ing from India, he took up the position of G.O.C. at Aldershot, which has rightly come to be regarded as the military red ribbon.

He was mentioned in despatches, and since then honors havefallen fast upon him. He was in the Egyptian expedition of 1882, in which year he raised and com- manded a corps `of mounted infantry, and in 188:), with his. mounted infan- try, did good work `at Suakin. _ In 1897-8 he served with the Frontier Field Force in India, and won his D.S.0.

For this he had to submit to court-martian, and was `sentenced to twenty years imprison- ment. Afterwards came the siege of Paris, which lasted six months.
