Michael Rimington
Lieutenant-General Sir Michael Frederic Rimington, KCB, CVO, (23 May 1858 – 19 December 1928) was a British Army officer who commanded cavalry forces in the Boer War and First World War. After early service with the 6th (Iniskilling) Dragoons, "Mike" Rimington was given command of an irregular cavalry force in South Africa, known as "Rimington's Guides". He commanded them for a year before taking command of his regular regiment, and later a cavalry brigade. In 1914, with the outbreak of the First World War, he commanded the 1st Indian Cavalry Division and then the Indian Cavalry Corps on the Western Front, before retiring to home-service duties in 1916. He had one son, Reginald, who followed his father into the 6th Dragoons; he rose to command an armoured brigade in 1941, and was killed in North Africa.
==Early career==
Born in Penrith, Rimington attended Highgate School in London and then studied at Keble College, Oxford. He graduated in 1881, and joined the army as a lieutenant in the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons that October. The regiment was stationed in South Africa, and Rimington's first active service was the Warren Expedition in 1884 to recapture the United States of Stellaland. He later served in the campaign against Dinizulu in 1888, as the regimental adjutant.〔Obituary in the ''Times''〕 He was promoted to the rank of Captain on 26 October 1887.
That year, he married Agnes Cunningham; they had one son, Reginald, who followed his father into the 6th Dragoons and later the Royal Tank Regiment.〔 Reginald Rimington rose to command the 3rd Armoured Brigade during the early stages of the Second World War; he was taken prisoner in the German offensive of April 1941 in North Africa, and died of wounds on 10 April.〔(Casualty record for Reginald Gordon Ward Rimington ), Commonwealth War Graves Commission〕
The Iniskillings returned to the United Kingdom in 1890, with Rimington remaining with them on regimental duties. He was promoted to major in 1897, and the same year appointed to a staff position overseeing remounts. Around this point, he published his first book, ''Hints on Stable Management''.〔
