He served primarily in the Indian Post Office. Fanshawe was born in Essex on December 18, 1848,[1] the son of Rev. John Faithfull Fanshawe and elder brother of Herbert Charles Fanshawe, and was educated at Repton School. He passed the Civil Service entrance exam in 1869.[2] He took a post with the Bengal Civil Service in 1871, and was appointed to the position of postmaster for Bombay in 1882.[3] After a stint serving in the Finance and Commerce Department, in 1889 he became the Governor of the Indian Post Office,[4] a position he held until 1906. In 1893, Queen Victoria announced the creation of a Royal Commission on Opium to regulate the British opium trade in the Far East. Fanshawe, a supporter of the opium trade, was nominated to the Commission by the Indian Government.[3] The Commission's report found that opium use in Asia was not a major problem in Asia[5] and its conclusions effectively removed the opium question from the British public agenda for another 15 years.[6] References1. ^{{cite book|author=Sir Bernard Burke|title=A genealogical and heraldic history of the landed gentry|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3RVXAAAAYAAJ|accessdate=23 May 2012|year=1925|publisher=Burke Pub.
