Brigadier-General Richard Beale Colvin, CB (4 Aug 1856 – 17 January 1936)[1] was a British officer and Conservative Party politician. He served as High Sheriff of Essex in 1890, and was a Major in the Loyal Suffolk Hussars, a Yeomanry regiment based in Bury St Edmunds.. Following the outbreak of the Second Boer War in late 1899, Colvin was on 7 February 1900 appointed Deputy-Assistant Adjutant-General in the Imperial Yeomanry, responsible for corps raised outside the head-quarters of the existing yeomanry regiments.[2] With the expansion of the number of Imperial Yeomanry regiments, he was a month later, on 14 March 1900, re-assigned and appointed in command of the 20th Battalion, Imperial Yeomanry,[3] which set out for South Africa later that month. For his services during the war, he was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in November 1900.[4] Colvin was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Epping at an unopposed by-election in 1917, after Epping's Conservative MP Amelius Lockwood was ennobled as Baron Lambourne.[5] He was re-elected in 1918 and 1922, and retired from the House of Commons at the 1923 general election[6] His portrait, describing him as a brigadier general, is held at the National Portrait Gallery.[7] References1. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.leighrayment.com/commons/Ecommons2.htm | title = House of Commons constituencies beginning with "E" (part 2) | work = Leigh Rayment's House of Commons pages | accessdate = 2009-04-21}} 2. ^{{London Gazette |issue=27162 |page=808 |date=6 February 1900}} 3. ^{{London Gazette|issue=27173| page=1711|date=13 March 1900}} 4. ^{{London Gazette |issue=27359 |date=27 September 1901 |page=6307}} 5. ^{{cite book |last=Craig |first=F.
