REMINISCENCES OF SPORT AND WAR GENERAL SIR BEAUVOIR DE LISLE EYRE & SPOTTISWOODE: LONDON 1939 First Edition. Reminiscences, mainly Boer War, WW1, Polo and a little big game hunting. General Sir Henry de Beauvoir De Lisle, KCB, KCMG, DSO (27 July 1864 – 16 July 1955), was a British Army officer and sportsman. He served in both the Second Boer War and the First World War. Born in Guernsey and educated in Jersey, De Lisle was commissioned into the 2nd Battalion Durham Light Infantry [Jimmy Durham interest] in 1883. He saw service with the Mounted Infantry in Egypt between 1885 and 1886, being awarded his Distinguished Service Order there. During the Second Boer War he commanded the Australian Brigade. He was severely wounded and three times mentioned in despatches. During the early months of 1902 his brigade was stationed in Natal, but in April he left the command of this brigade and transferred to Transvaal where there was more intense fighting. In a despatch dated 23 June 1902, Lord Kitchener, Commander-in-Chief during the latter part of the war, described De Lisle as “an officer of remarkable force of character. He has soldierly qualities and is a fine leader.”[ After his return he formally transferred to the cavalry when he was commissioned major in the 5th (Princess Charlotte of Wales’s) Dragoon Guards. Later the same year he was appointed in command of the 2nd Provisional Regiment of Hussars at Hounslow. De Lisle was appointed second-in-command of the 1st (Royal) Dragoons in 1903 and then became Commanding Officer of the regiment in 1906. He became a General Staff Officer at Aldershot in 1910 and in 1911 was appointed commander of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade. He served in the First World War, initially as commander of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade on the Western Front and then as General Officer Commanding (GOC) 1st Cavalry Division, also on the Western Front, in 1914. De Lisle then became GOC 29th Division, leading the division at the Third Battle of Krithia during the Gallipoli campaign of April 1915 to January 1916. He returned to the Western Front in 1916 and fought at the Battle of the Somme before moving on to become GOC XIII Corps in March 1918. After the war he was appointed GOC-in-Chief of Western Command: he held this post until 1923 and then retired in 1926. De Lisle was known for his polo skills and spent much of the years 1929 to 1930 training polo teams for the Maharaja of Kashmir in India.
