ARTHUR DUKE OF CONNAUGHT ABOUT THE ARMY IN INDIA
ARTHUR
(Duke of Connaught, 1850-1942, Son of Queen Victoria, Governor General of Canada)
Very Long Autograph Letter Signed to Lord Levy
saying he had “long wished to write to you but have always delayed in the hopes of being able to give you some positive information about myself. Alas you know before now that all chances of my succeeding Genl Hardinge are at an end & that the cabinet have positively refused to allow of my being appointed. Lord Landolph makes out that it would be unconstitutional for one of the Royal Family to hold an appointment which would necessitate his attending the Governor’s Council & voting or giving his opinion on any subjects that may be brought before the Council... this argument was only produced at the end... the next was that I looked much too young & then the final objection was the political one. It is a very great disappointment to me as I had so looked forward to being the C in C of the Bombay Army & you may be sure that I should have done my utmost to promote its interests & its efficiency. Whoever is appointed will I hope follow in Hardinge’s steps & will do his best to keep up a high state of efficiency in the Bombay Army. The Army Corps are being very much dismissed here now & I think the preponderance of opinion is very much in favor of their having formed under certain very distinct... such as great independence and as much as possible keeping up the old traditions... the Army Corps ought to be independent except being under the orders & inspection of the C in C in India, Bombay & Madras Officers... should it be decided that promotion should be in the Indian Army as against the Bengal, Bombay or Madras Armies, then they must all share alike & no preference should be given to Bengal Officers. The Army Corps Committee should be kept informed by the Civil authorities of the province of everything that is going on amongst the people, morally... & socially. He should also have the power of promising grants of land to the deserving native officers... ratified by the Governor who would have to show some very good cause if he refused. If these things that I suggest be done then I think the Army Corps would be an improvement on the present state of affairs, but not otherwise. I hope you continue to like your duties and that you have grown to like the people. I think it is a most interesting country & I am happy to think that next year I may again find myself serving there...”, 10 sides 8vo., Balmoral Castle headed mourning paper, 5th November
