Herbert Chermside
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Herbert Chermside GCMG, CB, was the Governor of Queensland between 1902 to 1904.
Chermside attended Eton College and then the Royal Military Academy, and served with the Royal Engineers in Egypt, Kurdistan, the Sudan, and Crete. He was appointed Governor of the Australian state of Queensland in 1902 and, while considered a capable administrator, was generally dissatisfied with life in Australia and returned to England in September 1904, being replaced by Frederic Thesiger, 1st Viscount Chelmsford.
He had no children from either of his 2 marriages, and died in 1929.
The Brisbane suburb of Chermside is named after him.
