No more popular officer ever wore the uniform of the Royal Fusiliers than Major- General Geoffry Barton, who now occupies the proud position of Colonel of the Regiment, he having just been appointed in the room of General Sir Richard Wilbraham, deceased. Geoffry Barton was born on February 22nd, 1844,.and received his commission as Ensign to the 7th Royal Fusiliers on October 3rd, 1862. He became Lieutenant on February 4th, 1865, and was Adjutant from 1869 to the end of 1873, when he was selected to proceed on special service to the Gold Coast for the Expedition to Kumassi under Sir Garnet Wolseley. Arriving on the scene of operations, he soon found himself face to face with the enemy. He was present at the.battle of Amoaful, at.the attack on Becquah, in the engagement at jarbinbah, and took a prominent part in the operations which resulted in the capture of Kumassi. Being very favourably mentioned in despatches, he, besides receiving the war medal, was promoted to a half-pay company on April 1 st, 1874, and noted for early employment. This came in the October followin when he was made Aide-de- Camp to Major-General R. Y. Shipley, C.B., commanding a Brigade at Aldershot, and gazetted to the 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers.
