Thomas Pears
Major-General Sir Thomas Townsend Pears KCB (9 May 1809 – 17 January 1892) was a senior British Indian Army officer who went on to be Military Secretary to the India Office.
==Military career==
Educated at Addiscombe Military Seminary, Pears was commissioned into the Madras Engineers in 1825.〔(Thomas Pears at Oxford Dictionary of National Biography )〕
In 1836 he was appointed Commanding Officer of the Madras Sappers and Miners and in that capacity went on to be Chief Engineer for the expedition to Karnal in India in 1839 and for the capture of Chusan in China in 1840.〔
In 1841 he was appointed Commanding Engineer of the Army in China and took a leading role in the capture of Ting-hai.〔
Returning to India he became consulting engineer for the railways in Madras.〔 He became Military Secretary to the India Office in 1861〔 and found himself having to deal with the financial burden created by the fact that one quarter of all Indian Army officers were actually located and receiving a pension in England rather than India.〔(Indian Finance. Three Essays", by Henry Fawcett )〕 He was appointed KCB in 1871 and retired in 1877.〔
