[ edit ]
He was the third son of Colonel Charles Arthur William Troyte of Huntsham Court, by his wife Katherine Mary Walrond, daughter of Sir John Walrond, 1st Baronet [2] of Bradfield House , Uffculme , Devon. Acland-Troyte was educated at Eton College and Trinity College, Cambridge .[3]
Career
[ edit ]
Military
[ edit ]
Acland-Troyte was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the 3rd Volunteer Battalion, Devonshire Regiment on 11 November 1896.[4] He transferred to the regular army with appointment as second lieutenant in the 4th battalion, King's Royal Rifle Corps on 8 February 1899,[5] and fought with his battalion in the Second Boer War one year later, where he was promoted to lieutenant on 25 January 1900,[6] and was later dangerously wounded. He was with his regiment in Somaliland between 1903 and 1904 and was afterwards promoted to lieutenant.[7] He rose to captain by 1905, for services to the Colonial Office .[8]
During the First World War , Acland-Troyte was mentioned in despatches seven times.[9] He was appointed Deputy Assistant Adjutant and Quartermaster-General in the beginning of 1915[10] and was promoted to major in September.[11] In 1916 Acland-Troyte was decorated with the Distinguished Service Order [12] and in 1917 was made a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George (CMG).[13] After the war he received the French Croix de Guerre in January 1919[14] and retired as brevet lieutenant-colonel a few months later.[15] At the outbreak of the Second World War he was reactivated and in 1940 joined the Home Guard .[16]
Political

Acland-Troyte contested unsuccessfully the parliamentary seat of Tiverton in a by-election in 1923 and in the following general election.[16] He was however successful the next year and was elected MP for Tiverton in 1924, which seat he held until 1945.[1]
Retirement

Following his retirement from politics he was knighted[17] and in 1946 accepted the office of Master of the Tiverton Foxhounds which he fulfilled until 1950. He was a Justice of the Peace and alderman of Tiverton.[2] In 1937 he was elected president of the Country Landowners Association , which post he left after two years.[16]
