George Pomeroy Colley (Dublin, 1.11.1835) - Majuba, 27.2.1881). Previously to coming to Natal with Sir Garnet Wolseley as colonial treasurer in 1875, he served on the eastern frontier of the Cape Colony and was a magistrate there. Later he acted as a professor of military administration at Sandhurst and served in the Ashanti campaign. In 1880 he succeeded Sir Henry Bulwer as governor of Natal. A man of great personal courage, he, unfortunately, gave his troops a false feeling of security.
