Military career

Educated at Harrow,[2] Clive was commissioned as an ensign in the Rifle Brigade on 18 August 1854[3] and then transferred to the Grenadier Guards as ensign and lieutenant on 8 December that year.[4] He served in the Eastern campaign from 1855 to 1856, after the fall of Sevastopol; this was his only war service.[5] He was appointed an Instructor of Musketry in his regiment on 30 April 1857[6] and purchased his promotion to lieutenant and captain on 17 July.[7] He was promoted to captain and lieutenant-colonel, again by purchase, on 8 March 1864,[8] and on completion of the qualifying period of service was granted brevet rank as colonel on 4 March 1876.[9] He became major in the Grenadier Guards on 11 October 1879[10] and lieutenant-colonel on 7 August 1880,[11] and commanded the regiment from 1880[2] until he was placed on half-pay, 27 July 1885,[12][13] and granted local rank as a brigadier-general while commanding the Brigade of Guards in Cyprus.[14]

Clive was appointed Commandant at the Staff College, Sandhurst, on 21 December 1885[15] and was promoted to major-general on 26 December.[16] He became Governor and Commandant of the Royal Military College, Sandhurst on 12 August 1888,[17] remaining in that post until 1893.[18] He was promoted lieutenant-general on 1 April 1892[19] and general on 12 January 1898,[20] and retired on 19 December 1898.[21] On 30 December 1906 he was made colonel of the King's (Liverpool Regiment).[22]

Political career

Clive succeeded his father (who had been unseated on petition) as Member of Parliament for Hereford in 1869, but only held the seat until 1871,[1] when he resigned through appointment as Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds. He never returned to the House of Commons. He was also a Deputy Lieutenant of Herefordshire[23] and County Mayo, and Justice of the Peace for Herefordshire and County Mayo.[2]

Family

Clive married Isabel, daughter of Daniel Hale Webb, in 1867.[1] They had five sons, including Sir Sidney Clive, and four daughters.[1] Clive lived at 25 Ennismore Gardens, SW; at Perrystone Court, Ross; and at Ballycroy, County Mayo. He was a member of the United Service Club and the Travellers' Club.[2] He died in March 1916, aged 78.[1] His wife survived him by six years and died in April 1922.[1]
