Sir Richard Carnac Temple, 2nd Baronet, CB, CIE, FBA, FSA (15 October 1850

 – 3 March 1931) was the British Chief Commissioner of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and an anthropological

writer. Richard Carnac Temple was born in Allahabad,

India, on 15 October 1850. He was the eldest son of Sir Richard Temple

(1826-1902), a baronet,

and his first wife, Charlotte Frances (née Martindale, d. 1855). His

father was from The Nash in Kempsey, Worcestershire and was at that

time working as a civil servant in India. His father eventually served as Governor of Bombay

Presidency (1877-80), a position that had also been held by Richard

Carnac Temple's great-grandfather, Sir James Rivett Carnac between 1838-41.

After education at Harrow School

and, from 1868, at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, Temple was commissioned in the Royal Scots Fusiliers in 1871. He was

transferred to the British Indian Army in 1877, being mentioned in despatches while serving with

the 38th Dogras

in the Second Anglo-Afghan War of

1878-79. By this time, he had risen from his

original rank of Ensign to that of Lieutenant

in the Bengal Staff Corps. Temple was then transferred to the 1st Gurkha

Regiment and appointed a cantonment

magistrate

in 1879 in Punjab Province. It was

now that he began to take what became his aoffering interest in the folklore,

history and ethnology of India. Promoted to Captain in 1881, he served

in the Third Burmese War from 1885 and as a

consequence, in 1887, was given charge of Mandalay

following the removal of king Thibaw.

Temple became a Major in 1891and was

appointed President of the Rangoon municipality and also its Port-Commissioner. While

based there he established various volunteer forces, including the Rangoon Naval Volunteers.

Subsequently, from 1895 until his retirement in 1904, he was Chief Commissioner

of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. He was also Superintendent of the penal

settlement at Port Blair. His final promotion was in 1897,

when he attained the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.
