| Radwan Hassan Bey | | | | RADWAN HASSAN BEY, Major, was born in Egypt in 1853, 3rd son of Right Honourable Sheikh Ahmed Fayed, Judge (who died in 1874). His mother was a descendant of the Prophet. Radwan Hassan Bey was married. He was educated at Polytechnic Artillery Colleges; was first in school, especially mathematics. He joined the 1st Regiment Artillery in 1871; was Professor for the Artillery Officers in 1873; in 1881 he was Commandant, Field Artillery Battery; and in 1882 was in the Battle of Tel-el-Kebir; was severely wounded and taken prisoner. In 1884 and 1885, he was a Captain, and commanded a Field Battery in the Sudan Expedition, under General Earle, taking part in the battle of Keerbakaan. He was promoted Major-Commandant, Artillery, was present at the battles of Kosheh and Ginniss. Colonel Andrew Haggard says, in 'Under Crescent and Star' (page 354): "Major Hassan Radwan, a very plucky fellow, of the Egyptian Artillery, was wounded very severely. This officer had distinguished himself a few days previously, when a small party of English were surrounded by a large party of the enemy, who had a gun with them, at a small sand-bag post at Ambigol Wells on the railway. Major Hassan Radwan, having with him Lieutenant de Lisle, a young officer in the Durham Light Infantry, and a few men mounted on camels, had broken through the enemy's lines and ridden in to assist in the defence. I believe that both the Egyptian and the English officer were afterwards the recipients of the Distinguished Service Order for this smart little affair". He received the Medjidie, 4th and 3rd Classes; also the Osmanieh (4th Class); the Egyptian Star and the English Medal; and was created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order [London Gazette, 26 November 1886]: "Radwan Hassan, Major, Egyptian Artillery. For Action at Ginniss". He was present at the battles of Toski and Argeen; was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel; Inspector of Artillery and Ammunition Stores. In 1902 he was appointed Sub-Governor of the Frontier; he was promoted to Colonel and appointed Mudir of Beni Souef, 1895; Prefect of Ghizeh, 1898; Mudir of Mimeh, 1901-4. He had the Osmanieh, 3rd Class; was a Pasha; Mir Miran Mondir of Menonjah Province, 1903; Mudir (Prefect) of Ghorbich from 1904. He wrote 'A Pamphlet on the Art of Artillery'. Colonel Radwan Hassan Bey's favourite recreation was shooting.

| Radwan Said | | | | RADWAN SAID, Lieutenant, served in the Sudan in 1885 and 1886, and was created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order [London Gazette, 26 November 1886]: "Radwan Said, Lieutenant, Egyptian Camel Corps". The following refers to Colonel Hassan Radwan, DSO, and to Major Said Radwan, DSO: HQ, Egyptian Army, War Office, Cairo. 24 December 1894. From the Sirdar, Egyptian Army. To His Majesty's Agent and Consul-General in Egypt.
My Lord, I have the honour to inform you that Major, now Lieutenant Colonel, Hassan Radwan, DSO, Egyptian Army, is still alive, and is now holding the appointment of Sub-Governor, Frontier. With reference to Lieutenant, since promoted Adjutant, Major Said Radwan, DSO, this officer left Cairo on or about July 1892, for Tripoli, with the intention of returning overland to Cairo. He has not been heard of since, and, as when he left Cairo he was in an advanced stage of consumption, there is no doubt that he is dead. He was struck off the strength of the Egyptian Army on the 1st January 1893. I have the honour to be, My Lord, Your most obedient servant, Herbert Kitchener, Sirdar

The Princess was a niece of Gen Skobeloff, and also of Mmc. de Balzac, wife of the great novelist at whose house in Paris she spent many of her early days. She was educated in the Parisian capital, and was betrothed at the age of fifteen to Prince W Radziwill, whom she married in 1873. She then resided mostly at Berlin, where she became intimately acquainted with the Emperor William II, the Emperor and Empress Frederick, and the present German Emperor, and moved in the highest Court and diplomatic circles in Germany and Russia. Taking up journalism, she started a weekly paper in Cape Town called Greater Britain. In May, 1902, she was convicted in Cape Town of forging Mr Cecil Rhodes's signature to a bill for £1,000, and was sentenced to two years' detention in a house of correction. She was released however, in Aug 1903, and in the following November obtained a writ against Mr Rhodes's trustees in respect of a claim against his estate for £1,400,000 under an alleged agreement dated about June 20, 1899. Princess Radziwill has published some novels in French and has contributed a good deal to the British and American Press. | Unknown |
