Hi Searcher
That was my post - I think your General Sir John is the same notable officer I referred to (different rank) as the author of 'Rolt on command' in my earlier post. I would be happy to compare notes though I believe your man was from the Irish Rolt side? I don't know of a connection with our own family.
