Engineer and Major-General of the British Army
|
Raymond Charles Pyramus de Candolle (1864–1935) was a railway engineer and a Major General for the British Army. After graduating in engineering at Cambridge University in 1886, he joined James Livesey & Son (railway engineering contractors) and undertook railway building assignments in Mexico, Spain, China and Argentina, where he became Director of the Buenos Aires Great Southern Railways (BAGS) in 1907. During the First World War he was recruited as Brigadier-General and was sent to Romania, Russia and Anatolia on a series of railway-related missions. Later, he was sent to Russia again in 1917 to sort out the Trans-Siberian Railway. Raymond was promoted to Major-General and Director General of Mesopotamian Transportation in 1918. He was one of the British representatives at the Paris peace conference in 1919.
