Major General Sir George Spafford Richardson, KBE, CB, CMG (1868–1938) was a New Zealand military leader and administrator. He was born in Northamptonshire, England in 1868. He was mentioned in Despatches, and was one of only 14 members of the New Zealand Army to receive the French Legion of Honour decoration during World War I. ==Military Service== Richardson was a New Zealand staff officer who gained prominence while attached to the British Royal Naval Division at Gallipoli. Born in England, Richardson had come to New Zealand in 1891 as a Royal Artillery gunnery instructor, before being commissioned into the New Zealand Staff Corps. He was serving on the Imperial General Staff in London when the War broke out and deployed to France as Chief of Staff of the Royal Naval Division. Richardson landed at Gallipoli with the Division on 25 April and his work as a staff officer throughout the campaign was so highly regarded that he was promoted and appointed Deputy Adjutant and Quartermaster General of the British Salonika Force from December 1915 to February 1916. In recognition of his distinguished service in these campaigns Richardson was awarded the Croix de Chevalier of the Légion d’honneur in March 1916.〔 He subsequently served in London as General Officer Commanding the New Zealand Division in the United Kingdom and representative to the War Office until the end of the War.
