Colonel '''Harold Carmichael Wylly''', [[Companion of the Order of the Bath|CB]] (18 January 1858 – 3 September 1932) was a [[British Army]] colonel and military historian.<ref name=rusi/><ref>‘WYLLY, Col Harold Carmichael’, Who Was Who, A & C Black, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing plc, 1920–2014; online edn, Oxford University Press, 2014 ; online edn, April 2014 [http://www.ukwhoswho.com/view/article/oupww/whowaswho/U219570 accessed 16 Aug 2014]</ref>

==Life==
Wylly was born in [[Meerut]] in the [[North-Western Provinces and Oudh|North West Province]] of [[British India]], the son of E. M. Wylly, a judge in the High Court of Agra. He was educated at [[Henley Grammar School]], [[Wimbledon School]] and the [[Royal Military College, Sandhurst]], before embarking on a career as an army officer when he was commissioned a [[Lieutenant (British Army and Royal Marines)|lieutenant]] on 11 September 1878, serving first with the [[95th (Derbyshire) Regiment of Foot]], which in 1881 was merged into the [[Sherwood Foresters]], as the 2nd battalion (Derbyshire Regiment). He served in the [[Anglo-Egyptian War]] in 1882, was promoted to [[Captain (BARM)|captain]] on 1 May 1884, served in the [[Sikkim Expedition]] in 1888, was promoted to [[Major (British Army)|major]] on 26 May 1893, and served in the [[Tirah Campaign]] 1897–98. In February 1900 he joined his battalion when it transferred to [[Malta]].<ref>{{Cite newspaper The Times |title=The War – embarkation of troops|date=15 February 1900 |page=4 |issue=36066}}</ref> Following the outbreak of the [[Second Boer War]], the 1st battalion of his regiment had embarked for [[South Africa]] in November 1899. Leaving his own battalion at Malta, Wylly transferred to South Africa where he was promoted to [[Lieutenant-colonel (British Army)|lieutenant-colonel]] in command of the 1st battalion from 11 February 1900.<ref>Hart′s Army list, 1903</ref> For services during the war, he was [[mentioned in despatches]] (dated 8 April 1902<ref>{{London Gazette |issue= 27443 |pages=3967–3974 |date= 17 June 1902 }}</ref>), and appointed a Companion of the [[Order of the Bath]] (CB) in the South Africa honours list published on 26 June 1902.<ref>{{London Gazette |issue= 27448 |supp=y |pages=4191–4192 |date= 26 June 1902 }}</ref> The battalion stayed in South Africa until after the war, then transferred on the SS ''Wakool'' to a new posting at [[Hong Kong]] in September 1902.<ref>{{Cite newspaper The Times |title=The Army in South Africa – Troops returning home|date=12 September 1902 |page=5 |issue=36871}}</ref>

From 1907 Wylly published works on military topics, including in 1908 a biography of Sir [[Joseph Thackwell]]. In 1913, in the buildup to the First World War, Wylly became editor of ''[[RUSI Journal]]'', the journal of the [[Royal United Services Institute]], a position he held until 1923. Many of his later works dealt with the First World War.

In 1929 he was awarded the [[Chesney Gold Medal]], the highest award of the Royal United Services Institute.<ref name=rusi>{{cite web | title = Chesney Gold Medal: Past Recipients | publisher = Royal United Services Institute | url = https://www.rusi.org/chesneygoldmedal/winners/ | access-date = 2014-08-19 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140215090511/http://www.rusi.org/chesneygoldmedal/winners/ | archive-date = 2014-02-15 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Chesney Gold Medal Awarded to Baroness Thacher|publisher=RUSI Journal|page=4|url=https://www.rusi.org/downloads/assets/JA00106.pdf|date=April 2001|access-date=2014-08-19|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130730045752/http://www.rusi.org/downloads/assets/JA00106.pdf|archive-date=2013-07-30}}</ref>
