- Title:
- Note (with envelope) from the Commander-in-Chief in India, Horatio Herbert Kitchener, to Colonel Wilfrid Malleson
- Scope & Content:
-
Handwritten note (with envelope) addressed to Colonel [Wilfrid] Malleson (of the Intelligence Branch, Indian Army Headquarters), written by the Commander-in-Chief in India, Horatio Herbert Kitchener. The note refers to the ‘state of the army’, and a disagreement between Kitchener and an individual referred to as Baker. Kitchener requests that Malleson see Baker ‘to if possible remove his doubts.’ The note also makes reference to another individual named Duff, probably referring to Beauchamp Duff, Chief of the General Staff (India) from March 1906 to September 1909. The note presumably refers to Kitchener’s reorganisation of the Indian Army, in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief during the period 1902 to 1909.
