Major-General Sir Archibald Edward Harbord Anson Шаблон:Small, Шаблон:Post-nominals, (16 April 1826 – 26 February 1925),[1] was a British military commander from the Anson family.

Background and education

He had three brothers and three sisters, one of whom was his twin sister Louisa Frances Maria. He was taught Latin grammar by his father before he went to school. In 1834 he went to Reverend Dr. Pincknay's School and later in 1837 to Mr. Miller's school on Woolwich Common.[1]

It was during his appointment that the Penang Riots occurred. When the riots ended he negotiated a peace agreement between the contending parties; Red Flag and Tua Pek Kong members against the White Flag and the Ghee Hin. At that time he was the Acting Governor of Straits Settlements for several occasions between 4 March 1871 – 22 March 1872, 3 November 1873 – 4 November 1873, 3 April 1877 – 29 October 1877 and 10 February 1879 – 16 May 1880.
