General Sir Henry Fane Grant, GCB, GCVO (13 December 1848 – 22 April 1919) was a British Army officer who commanded the 5th Division from 1903 to 1906. He was Governor of Malta from 1907 to 1909.
Military career[edit]
Born the son of General Sir Patrick Grant, Grant was commissioned into the 4th Queen's Own Hussars in 1868 and took part in the Nile Expedition in 1884.[1] He became Assistant Adjutant-General in Bengal in 1891, Inspector-General of Cavalry in India in 1893,[2] and Inspector of Cavalry in the United Kingdom in 1898.[3] He went on to be General Officer Commanding 5th Division in 1903 and Governor of Malta in 1907 before he retired in 1909.[1]
In retirement Grant became Lieutenant of the Tower of London.[3] He was killed while out rabbit-shooting in Scotland,[4] and is commemorated by a memorial tablet at Duthil Church near Carrbridge.[5]
