Army Officer, reaching the rank
of captain in the Royal Sussex Regiment.
Robert was commissioned as a sub-lieutenant on the unattached list on 10
September 1875 (London Gazette 10 September 1875 p4454),
and attached to the 35th
(Royal Sussex) Regiment of Foot on August 1876, with seniority
backdated to 10 September 1875 (London Gazette 29 August 1876 p4780). He
was promoted to lieutenant on 10 September 1876 (London Gazette 18 December 1887 p7251). The
35th Foot became the 1st Battalion of the Royal
Sussex Regiment in 1881. In 1882, the Royal Sussex Regiment was
stationed in Cyprus and Robert served for a period as the acting Local
Commandant of Military Police (LCMP) in Limassol (Cyprus Secretariat Archives Minute Papers
SA1/15769). Robert was promoted to captain on 28 November 1883 (London Gazette 18 December 1883 p6521). We
see that Robert graduated with an LL.D. degree from Trinity College Dublin
in 1886, and perhaps he was planning a career in military law. He was still
attached to the Royal Sussex Regiment as a captain on his decease in 1889.
