and have some more information on him: he was awarded the "Order of Leopold with Palm" and the Belgian Croix de Guerre with Palm. Choess 23:53, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Newspaper article
The followning sentence doesn't fit with the rest of the article: "Arbuthnot ended his career in the HEIC as a Colonel. During his retirement he was awarded the honorary rank of Major-General on 31 December, 1861 [3]." That date, and the date of the dissolution of the East India Company, was before his birth.

More about family...
Why is he in Burkes, presumably his grandfather (?) was a baronet? --Counter-revolutionary 21:09, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

His great-grandfather was a brother of the 2nd Arbuthnot baronet of Edinburgh which means that his gt gt grandfather was the 1st Baronet. Regards, David Lauder 21:21, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * ,and his maternal grandfather was Henry Arthur Blake. --Counter-revolutionary 21:22, 25 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Most impressed. Would you sneer at this family? David Lauder 21:28, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Is "sneer" your favourite word? You use it on every page.--Vintagekits 21:35, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No, I use it to adequately describe you and your friends behaviour, thats all. Personally I think it sums it up. David Lauder 08:17, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you think its OK to go around breaching WP:NPA and WP:CIVIL like that?--Vintagekits 10:34, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Indeed not, sir, his grandfather was the Governor of Hong Kong. --Counter-revolutionary 21:31, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I suggest that David Lauder and Vintagekits both stop commenting here, as further comment is fruitless and has no bearing on this article. Further comment on the subject is here Giano 10:43, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
