He was later military attach‚ at Constantinople (1877-8) and secretary to the marquess of Lorne, husband of Princess Louise, when governor-general of Canada (1878-83), and eventually administrator-general of the Congo (1885-6). In 1887 he was secretary to the Emin Pasha relief expedition and commanded the punitive Yoni expedition in Sierra Leone. He was sent as commissioner to Swaziland in 1889 before retiring the following year with the honorary rank of major-general. In 1892 he became controller and treasurer of the household of the duke of York, later George V, and he died in 1901. The albums appear to have been compiled by one of Francis and Evelyn de Winton's children or another close family member after his death; together with the voluminous archive of additional letters and documents they provide a comprehensive, chronological account of his career. Provenance: from the family by direct descent. (4 cartons)
