'''Frederic John Napier Thesiger, 1st Viscount Chelmsford''', {{postnominals|country=GBR|size=100|sep=,|GCSI|GCMG|GCIE|GBE|PC}} (12 August 1868 – 1 April 1933) was a British statesman who served as [[Governor of Queensland]] from 1905 to 1909, [[Governor of New South Wales]] from 1909 to 1913, and [[Viceroy of India]] from 1916 to 1921, where he was responsible for the creation of the [[Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms]].

==Early life==
Thesiger was born on 12 August 1868 in London, England, the son of the [[Frederic Thesiger, 2nd Baron Chelmsford|2nd Baron Chelmsford]] and Adria Heath. He was educated at [[Winchester College]] and [[Magdalen College, Oxford]], graduating from the latter as Bachelor of Arts with first-class honours in law in 1891. Thesiger was elected as a fellow of [[All Souls College]] (1892–1899).<ref name=ADB/> In 1893 he was called to the Bar of the [[Inner Temple]] to practice law. He joined the [[Volunteer Force|army volunteer force]] as an officer in the 1st volunteer battalion in the [[Dorsetshire Regiment]], and was promoted to [[Captain (BARM)|captain]] on 13 September 1902.<ref>{{London Gazette|issue= 27473|date=12 September 1902 |page=5890}}</ref>

A keen cricketer, he captained the [[Oxford University Cricket Club|Oxford]] XI and also played for [[Middlesex County Cricket Club|Middlesex]].{{Citation needed|date=November 2020}}

He was member of the [[London County Council]] between 1904 and 1905 and again as an [[alderman]] from 1913 and 1919.<ref>''London County Council, First Meeting of the New Body'', The Times, 14 March 1913, p. 5</ref>

==Governor of Queensland==

On 9 April 1905, he succeeded to the title of 3rd Baron Chelmsford of Chelmsford upon his father's death and in July 1905 accepted his appointment as the [[Governor of Queensland]] in Australia. He arrived in [[Brisbane]] and was sworn in on 20 November. On 29 June 1906, Chelmsford was invested as a [[Knight Commander of Order of St Michael and St George]].{{Citation needed|date=November 2020}} His term was dominated by conflict between the [[Queensland Legislative Council|Legislative Council]] and the [[Legislative Assembly of Queensland|Legislative Assembly]] and the emergence of three evenly divided parties in the lower house.<ref name=ADB/>

Following the [[1907 Queensland state election|1907 election]], [[William Kidston]], who had founded [[Kidstonites|his own party]], became [[Premier of Queensland]] with Labor support. The legislative council, then being an appointed chamber, then refused Kidston's legislative programs on electoral reforms and wage-fixing.<ref name=book>{{cite book| last =Clune| first =David|author2=Turner, Ken | title =The Governors of New South Wales: 1788–2010| publisher =Federation Press| year =2009| location =Sydney| pages =473–495|no-pp=y}}</ref> Kidston then made a request to Chelmsford to appoint enough members to the Council in order to get his legislation through. Chelmsford refused, on the grounds that he did not have a sufficient mandate from the people to make such demands. Kidston resigned in protest and Chelmsford commissioned the [[Leader of the Opposition (Queensland)|Leader of the Opposition]], [[Robert Philp]], who formed a ministry, which was promptly defeated in the assembly. Chelmsford then granted Philp a dissolution, though the parliament was only six months old. Because Supply was denied by Kidston, Chelmsford stepped in and used the reserve powers to ensure that supply was passed until the election.<ref name=book/>

Kidston was returned to office in the [[1908 Queensland state election|1908 election]]. The new assembly passed a motion criticising Chelmsford's action and there was widespread speculation that he would be recalled. However, nothing came of this. Despite the admission that their representative had been mistaken in granting a dissolution, the [[Colonial Office]] and the British government remained in his favour. Chelmsford's term expired just after Kidston resigned from the Labor Government and formed a coalition with Philp's Conservatives.<ref name=book/>

==Governor of New South Wales==
In May 1909 Chelmsford accepted the appointment as [[Governor of New South Wales]] and was sworn in at [[Government House, Sydney|Government House]] on 28 May 1909. Unlike in Queensland, his term was comparably stable and was distinguished by good relations with the state government. At the start of his term, [[Charles Wade]], of the [[Commonwealth Liberal Party]], was the [[Premier of New South Wales|Premier]]. However, following the 1910 election, Wade's Liberals were defeated and the [[Australian Labor Party (New South Wales Branch)|Labor Party]] under [[James McGowen]] was sworn in as the state's first Labor Government. Despite his conservative background, Chelmsford was able to get along well with the Labor Government. Chelmsford became friends with the Attorney General, [[William Holman]], with whom they shared a love of music and as a competent Viola player, Chelmsford encouraged chamber concerts at Government House. He said of the government: "I have never had a body of Ministers with whom it has been a greater pleasure to work. They are quiet, unassuming and industrious, and have won the goodwill and loyalty of their departments."<ref>Despatch to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, 28 September 1910, CO 418/80.</ref> From 21 December 1909 to 27 January 1910 Chelmsford acted as Administrator of the Commonwealth when the [[Governor-General of Australia]], [[William Ward, 2nd Earl of Dudley|The Earl of Dudley]] was on leave.{{citation needed|date=October 2020}}

From April to November 1911, Chelmsford was back in England on overseas leave, thereby avoiding a major political crisis in New South Wales. In July 1911, two Labor Members of the Legislative Assembly resigned in protest over land reforms, thereby leaving McGowen's government in a minority in the assembly. Holman, who had stepped in as acting-Premier following McGowen also taking leave (Both Chelmsford and McGowen were attending the coronation of [[George V of the United Kingdom|King George V]]), asked the [[Lieutenant Governor of New South Wales]], [[William Portus Cullen|Sir William Cullen]], to prorogue the Parliament until the by-elections were held. Cullen declined on the basis that there was no need for him to act as the Government still had the confidence of the House and that the Governor had no discretion in the matter. Holman rejected this and, when Parliament resumed, resigned along with his Ministry and the Speaker. Holman further refused to advise Cullen to ask the [[Leader of the Opposition (New South Wales)|Leader of the Opposition]], Wade, to form a Government. Cullen did so nonetheless. Wade was wary, aware that if he accepted he too would be in a minority. Wade told Cullen that he would only accept if he was granted a dissolution. Cullen did not accept that condition and Wade refused to accept the commission. Cullen then had no choice but to recommission Holman and grant him a dissolution. Holman held onto Government tenuously as one seat was lost the by-elections. He therefore asked a member of the Opposition Liberals, [[Henry Willis (Australian politician)|Henry Willis]], to take the Chair as Speaker.<ref name=book/>
[[File:Governor and Lady Chelmsford.jpg|thumb|Governor and Lady Chelmsford in 1910.]]
Despite the crisis having been averted, Chelmsford returned to face increasing problems over the balance of power in the appointed [[New South Wales Legislative Council]]. The council had only five Labor members in a total of 73 and as a result, 70% of house divisions were lost by the government in its first three years in office, despite a recognised need for cooperation. Chelmsford therefore approved 11 appointments in 1912, leaving Labor with only 13 members out of 59. McGowen was under pressure to ask for more appointments to move for the abolition of the council, but he had no such intention of doing so. In October 1912, Chelmsford announced his intention not to seek a further term as governor, which the Colonial Office reluctantly accepted, describing him as "careful, hardworking and popular".<ref name=book/> A Freemason, in 1910 he was elected the Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of NSW and held the position until 1913. In 1909 Freemason Lodge Chelmsford 261 was established in New South Wales in his honour.<ref>{{cite web|title=History of Lodge Chelmsford 261| publisher=Lodge Chelmsford No 261|url=http://www.lodgechelmsford.com/about-us.html|access-date=11 July 2010}}</ref> In 1912 he was invested as a [[Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George]], becoming Chancellor of the Order from 1914 to 1916.{{Citation needed|date=November 2020}} His term expired and Chelmsford returned to England in March 1913.<ref name=ADB/>

==Viceroy of India==
[[File:Coronation Park, Delhi 42.JPG|thumb|Statue of Lord Chelmsford in [[Coronation Park, Delhi]]]]
Upon the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 he rejoined his regiment and was posted to India. On 29 February 1916 he was appointed to the [[Privy Council of the United Kingdom|Privy Council]] (PC).<ref>{{London Gazette|issue= 29492|page=2207|date= 29 February 1916}}</ref> Rising quickly, he was appointed Viceroy in March 1916, succeeding [[Charles Hardinge, 1st Baron Hardinge of Penshurst|Lord Hardinge]].<ref>{{London Gazette|issue=29502|page=2578|date=3 March 1916}}</ref> As Viceroy he was invested as [[Knight Grand Commander of the Order of the Indian Empire]] and a [[Knight Grand Commander of the Order of the Star of India]] in 1916 and was also Grand Master of the orders.{{Citation needed|date=November 2020}} He was invested as a [[Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire]] on 4 December 1917.<ref name=GBE>{{London Gazette|issue= 30413|page=12680|date=4 December 1917}}</ref>

His time as Viceroy was marked with consistent calls for self-government, which Chelmsford agreed to, convincing a preoccupied Foreign Office to send the [[Secretary of State for India]], [[Edwin Samuel Montagu]], to discuss the potential for reform. Together they oversaw the implementation of the [[Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms]], which gave greater authority to local Indian representative bodies and paved the way for a free India. Trying to tread a fine line between reform and maintaining the British hold over India, Chelmsford passed repressive anti-terrorism laws to widespread opposition from Indian reformists. The laws sparked unrest in the [[Punjab (British India)|Punjab]], culminating in the implementation of martial law in the region and the [[Amritsar Massacre]] by General [[Reginald Dyer]] on 13 April 1919. Initially supportive of Dyer and slow to respond to the massacre, following a ruling condemning Dyer's actions, Chelmsford eventually disciplined Dyer. This was however, seen by Indian Nationalists as too little, too late and the [[Indian National Congress]] boycotted the first regional elections in 1920. In addition to this, the [[Third Anglo-Afghan War]] broke out and [[Mahatma Gandhi|Gandhi]] started his first campaign. On his return to Britain on 15 June 1921, he was elevated to Viscount as 1st '''Viscount Chelmsford''' of Chelmsford, County of Essex.<ref>{{London Gazette|issue= 32360|page=4823|date= 15 June 1921}}</ref>

[[File:StateLibQld 1 205340 Viscount Chelmsford, ca.1924.jpg|thumb|150px|Chelmsford as First Lord of the Admiralty.]]
In 1924, despite being a lifelong [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]], Chelmsford was persuaded to join the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]] government of [[Ramsay MacDonald]] in 1924 as [[List of the First Lords of the Admiralty|First Lord of the Admiralty]], due to the fact that Labour had so few peers in the [[House of Lords]]. He never joined the party and only agreed on the condition that the Navy's size be maintained and that he not be expected to attend any cabinet meetings of a political nature. He was duly sworn in by [[King George V]] on 23 January 1924 at Buckingham Palace.<ref>{{London Gazette|issue= 32966|page=770|date= 23 January 1924}}</ref> He was appointed as a Commissioner exercising the office of [[Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom|Lord High Admiral]] three times on 1 April 15 August 1924 and 9 October 1924.<ref>

After the fall of the government in November 1924, he retired from political life.{{Citation needed|date=November 2020}}

In 1926 Chelmsford was appointed as [[Agent-General|Agent-General for New South Wales]] in London. The reasoning for this was that during state Attorney-General [[Edward McTiernan]]'s visit to London to put the Government's case over its disputes with Governor [[Dudley de Chair]]'s opposition over the abolition of the Legislative Council the Government needed an influential representative in London and Labor Premier, [[Jack Lang (Australian politician)|Jack Lang]], explained that "it was absolutely necessary that the State should be represented by a gentleman who would be in close touch with the London financial market".<ref>''Sydney Morning Herald'', 16 June 1926</ref> He served until 1928.<ref name=ADB/>

He was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Law by [[Birmingham University]] in 1927, an honorary degree of Doctor of Civil Law by Magdalen College, Oxford University in 1929 and as a [[Order of Saint John (chartered 1888)|Knight of Justice of the Order of St John of Jerusalem]].{{Citation needed|date=November 2020}} As a [[Oxbridge Fellow|fellow]] of All Souls, Chelmsford became [[Warden (college)|Warden]] of the College in 1932.<ref name="vch">{{cite book|editor1=Salter, H.

He was a long-standing [[Freemason]], and served as Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Queensland and the [[United Grand Lodge of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory]].<ref>[http://www.lodgedevotion.net/devotionnews/education-editorial-articles/famous-australian-freemasons/large-list-of-notable-and-famous-australian-freemasons/Famous%20Australian%20Freemasons%202015%2001%2009%20with%20index.pdf?attredirects=0&d=1 Famous &/or Notable Australian Freemasons]{{dead link|date=October 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

==Family==
Lord Chelmsford married Frances Charlotte Guest (22 March 1869 – 24 September 1957), daughter of [[Ivor Guest, 1st Baron Wimborne]], and Lady Cornelia Henrietta Maria Spencer-Churchill, on 27 July 1894 at St. George's Church, St. George Street, [[Hanover Square, London]].{{Citation needed|date=November 2020}} They had six children:

Lady Chelmsford was made a [[Dame Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire]] in 1917 and was also invested with the [[Order of the Crown of India|Imperial Order of the Crown of India]]. Lord Chelmsford died of coronary vascular disease on 1 April 1933, aged 64. He was survived by his younger son and four daughters. His eldest son, Second Lieutenant Frederic Ivor Thesiger of the 87th Brigade [[Royal Field Artillery]], had been killed in action in [[Mesopotamian campaign|Mesopotamia]] in 1917.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/635473/THESIGER,%20The%20Hon.%20FREDERICK%20IVOR|title=Casualty Details – Thesiger, The Hon.

In their honour, the New South Wales government launched a new ferry, to be known as the ''Lady Chelmsford'' in 1910 as a [[Sydney Ferries|Sydney Harbour Ferry]]. The ''Lady Chelmsford'' continued working the harbour until 1971 when she was sold. In Melbourne she operated as a cruising restaurant before being taken out of service and sold in 2005. Again becoming a restaurant, she sank at her moorings in February 2008 and after a protracted battle over insurance, the ship was deemed unsalvageable and broken up underwater in mid-2011.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://ladychelmsford.com/history|title= Lady Chelmsford – History|publisher= The Showboat Cruising Restaurant, MV Lady Chelmsford|access-date= 22 July 2010|url-status= dead|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100511084421/http://ladychelmsford.com/history|archive-date= 11 May 2010}}</ref>
