Glyn Gilbert
Major General Glyn Charles Anglim Gilbert CB MC (1920 – 26 September 2003) was a 20th-century British military officer who saw active service during the Second World War. In 1970 he became the highest ranking Bermudian military officer when he was promoted to the rank of Major General in the British Army.
==Early life==
Gilbert was born into a family with its roots in the 17th century settlement of Bermuda.〔(Obituary: Major-General Glyn Gilbert ) The Telegraph, 24 October 2003〕 His father, Major Charles Gray Gosling Gilbert, OBE, MC, was the long-time head of the Colony's education department (1924–56) 〔〔(The Rhodes Trust Register of Bermuda Rhodes Scholars: 1913: GILBERT, Charles Gray Gosling )〕 (the school of Gilbert Institute,〔(Bermuda Ministry of Education; Gilbert Institute )〕 in Paget, is named for him). Charles Gilbert, a Bermuda Rhodes Scholar from 1913, had been studying at Brasenose College, Oxford, in England when the Great War began. He left the university and was commissioned into the Royal West Kent Regiment, before serving on the Western Front in the Machine Gun Corps.〔〔(The Royal Gazette, 6 April 1915: ) MR. C. G. G. GILBERT GRANTED A COMMISSION.〕〔(Extract: ''THE LIFE AND TIMES OF CHARLES GRAY GOSLING GILBERT, O.B.E., M.C.''. 27 November 1839 9 September 1981. Published by his sons Glyn, John and David. )〕 Other Bermudian students in Britain similarly left their studies to serve in the British Army, including another Bermudian Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, Lennock de Graaf Godet, killed in action while serving in the Royal Flying Corps.〔(POTSI (archived): ) 2/LT Lennock de Graaf Godet〕 During the Second World War, Gilbert was also in charge of cable censorship in Bermuda.
Glyn Gilbert was born in England, where his father worked briefly after leaving the Army following the end of the Great War. Raised in Bermuda, he was sent to Eastbourne College in England.〔 After leaving school the year before the start of the Second World War, and anticipating the coming conflict, Glyn Gilbert returned briefly to Bermuda before enrolling at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst.〔 The 1939 class of officer cadets was hurried through its training, and Gilbert was commissioned into the Lincolnshire Regiment.〔 Two contingents from the Bermuda Volunteer Rifle Corps had served with the Lincolnshire Regiment on the Western Front, during the Great War. Since the 1920s, the affiliation between the two units had been given official sanction, with the Lincolns taking a paternal relationship towards the BVRC, akin to that it had with its own Territorial battalions. The BVRC would send drafts to the Lincolns again, in 1940 and 1944.
