The RMC was reorganised at the outbreak of the Second World War, but some of its units remained operational at Sandhurst and Aldershot. In 1947, the Royal Military College was merged with the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, to form the present-day all-purpose Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. HistoryThe Royal Military College was conceived by Colonel John Le Marchant, whose scheme for establishing schools for the military instruction of officers at High Wycombe and Great Marlow first met strong resistance on the grounds of cost. However, in 1801 Parliament voted a grant of £30,000 for it,[1] and in 1802 Le Marchant, appointed as the first Lieutenant Governor of the College, opened its Junior Department at a large house in West Street, Great Marlow,[2][3] to train gentleman cadets for the infantry and cavalry regiments of the British Army and for the presidency armies of British India,[4][5] 1802 was the same year as the founding of the French Army's Saint-Cyr[5] and of West Point in the United States.[6] General Sir William Harcourt was appointed as the first Governor of the Royal Military College at Great Marlow[7] and continued in post until 1811. In 1799, a school for staff officers had been established at High Wycombe, and in 1801 this became the Senior Department of the Military College.[8] In 1812, the College's Junior Department moved from Great Marlow into purpose-built buildings at Sandhurst designed by James Wyatt,[9] and was soon joined there by the Senior Department, migrating from High Wycombe. In 1858 this became a separate institution, the Staff College.[8] On the outbreak of the Second World War, many of the cadets and staff of the Royal Military College were mobilised for active service, but the buildings at Sandhurst remained the home of the RMC's 161 Infantry Officer Cadet Training Unit. In 1942, this unit moved to Mons Barracks, Aldershot, and for the rest of the war the Sandhurst campus was used as a Royal Armoured Corps Officer Cadet Training Unit.[10] In 1947, a new Royal Military Academy Sandhurst was formed on the site of the Royal Military College, merging the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich (which had trained officers for the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers from 1741 to 1939) and the Royal Military College (1802 to 1939), with the objective of providing officer training for all arms and services.[11] CurriculumThe college was a training facility for cavalry and infantry officers of the British and Indian Armies, primarily teaching military science, history, and athletics. Unlike other military colleges, such as West Point, it never granted degrees or other academic qualifications. Governors and CommandantsSee List of Governors and Commandants of Sandhurst The Royal Military College was originally led by a Governor, who was a figurehead, often non-resident, a Lieutenant Governor, who had actual day-to-day command of the college, and a Commandant, who was the officer in charge of the cadets. In 1812, the posts of Lieutenant Governor and Commandant were merged into the role of Commandant. In 1888 the two remaining senior posts, Governor and Commandant, were merged into the single appointment of Governor and Commandant, which in 1902 was retitled as "Commandant".[12] Former cadetsSee Category:Graduates of the Royal Military College, Sandhurst The most notable cadets of RMC Sandhurst include:
