Personal Details Name: Major de Lotbiniere Type: Staff Born in camp? No Died in camp? No Notes: These points about de Lotbiniere and his management of the 'black' camps have been in my mind because I have found out a lot more about him. Born in 1868 in Canada, he had a very distinguished military career after 1902, especially during the First World War as a Brigadier-General. He retired from the army with a knighthood in 1920 and settled down at Brandon Hall, Suffolk, where he died in 1937 and where his descendants still live. I have written to see if there are any private papers there (or elsewhere) from 1901-2. At the end of the South African War he married Mildred Grenfell (sister of Julian Grenfell).
