John Anthony Sydney Ritson

John Anthony Sydney Ritson DSO & Bar, (18 August 1887 – 16 October 1957)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Ritson )〕 was an English mines inspector and engineer who became professor of mining at Leeds University and at the Royal School of Mines, Imperial College, London. In his early life he was a rugby union player of note playing international rugby for both England and the British Isles, and was a member of the first ever English Grand Slam winning side. During the First World War he served in the Durham Light Infantry and later commanded a battalion of the Royal Scots.
==Personal history==
Ritson was born in 1887 in Chester-Le-Street, Durham to W. M. Ritson, of Gullane, East Lothian.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Durham Mining Museum )〕 He was educated at Uppingham School later matriculating to Durham University where he attended Armstrong College. At Durham he graduated with distinction in mining and surveying.〔 Ritson joined the British Army as a young man and in 1906 he was made second lieutenant in the Durham Light Infantry. In 1912 he gained a First Class Certificate of Competency as Manager of a Mine and the following year took on the post of junior mines inspector in Scotland.〔
Ritson's career as an inspector of mines was placed on hold when he was called for active service with the outbreak of the First World War, where as a former soldier he was recalled to the Durham Light Infantry serving in the Territorial Army. At the end of the war Ritson returned to Scotland where he continued his work as a mining inspector. In 1921 he was given his first post as a senior inspector working in Penarth in the South Wales Division.〔 In 1923 Ritson had returned to the North of England to take up the position of Professor of Mining at Leeds University. In 1935 he was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire and the following year, after 12 years at Leeds, he accepted the role of Professor of Mines at the Royal School of Mines, a department of Imperial College, London.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/pls/portallive/docs/1/18187720.PDF )〕 Ritson took over the post at Imperial College from Professor S. J. Truscott, who had desired that the department focus more on coal and iron mining. Ritson's background in coal was seen as taking the Royal School of Mines in the correct direction but his lack of practical understanding of hard rock metalliferous mining resulted in him spending time in copper and gold mines in South Africa before being allowed to take up the post.
Ritson remained at Royal School of Mines until 1952 when he was succeeded by J.C. Mitcheson, and in 1955 he was made a fellow of Imperial College in recognition of his work.〔 He was dogged by ill health in his later life, due to an injury sustained during his service during the First World War. Riston died in 1957 at the age of 70.〔
