| No. | 912 | | Surname | Pollock | | Christian Names | Archibald Reid Swiney | | Dates at Haileybury | 1847-49 | | Presidency | Bengal | | Career in India | 1850-77 | | Place of Death | Died in England | | Date of Death | 1877 Oct 3 | | Final Appointment 1 | Commissioner of Agra | | Mutiny Service | Joint Magistrate of Benares. The youngest son of Field Marshal Sir George Pollock, and fully worthy of his father. He rendered most valuable and efficient service in provisioning and obtaining carriage for the English troops marching up country. His activity and energy were marvellous, and right well did he maintain the honour of the family name; proving himself in every respect a valuable coadjutor of Gubbins and Lind, the Judge and Magistrate of Benares, to whom he rendered valuable aid in times of great difficulty and danger. When Azimgarh was re-occupied he was most successful in maintaining order and preventing the inroads of the rebels from Oudh. |
