Abstract
COL.-COMMANDANT STUART WILLIAM HUGHES RAWLINS died on Dec. 16 last, from acute pneumonia, near Aldershot, where he commanded the artillery of the 2nd Division. Born in 1880, Rawlins' name was on the list of successful competitors at the 1893 election of scholars at Eton. His family tradition was closely bound up both with Eton and with academic life. His father, William Donaldson Rawlins, was a life fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. His uncle, Francis Hay Rawlins, became lower master and ultimately vice-provost at Eton, and was one of the last fellows of King's under the statutes by which a fellowship was retained for life. Leaving Eton rather sooner than many boys, Rawlins went into the Royal Marines, in which he saw five years' service and from which he transferred to the Army.
