He served in British India, South Africa and during World War I in England, where he commanded the Thames and Medway Defences.[1]

Papers

Major-General Sir Herbert Mullaly left his decorations, papers, and textbooks in his will to his son, Major Brian Reginald Mullaly, of the Indian Army, with this comment:[4]

"Among them are many original papers, such as original copies of the schemes for the redistribution and reorganisation of the army in India, which were called 'Lord Kitchener Schemes,' but which were evolved entirely out of my own brain, written by my own hand, and were accepted practically in their entirety."

The papers also include various other documents of a confidential nature. General Mullaly requested that none of his diaries or papers, or extracts therefrom, be published before 1950.
