Hi Garen
Thank you for adding these notes. These facts are relatively common knowledge amongst students but it does show that there is a dearth of information on the man over and above what you've identified.
My interest is focused upon the way men such as Raglan went from the military into a political career and what equipped them to do so.
There's abundant evidence to show it was usually a less than startling idea but seemed a right of passage for many.
I'm appreciative of your putting the time in to provide an answer...
Cheers !
