CAVAGNARI, SIR PIERRE LOUIS NAPOLEON (18411879)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 560 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CAVAGNARI, SIR PIERRE LOUIS NAPOLEON (18411879) , British military
administrator
 , the son of a French general by his
marriage
  with an Irish lady, was born at Stenay, in the department of the Meuse, on the 4th of July 1841. He nevertheless obtained naturalization as an Englishman, and entered the military service of the
East
  India Company. After passing through the college at Addiscombe, he served through the Oudh campaign against the mutineers in 1858 and 1859. In 1861 he was appointed an assistant
commissioner
  in the Punjab, and in 1877 became
deputy
 
commissioner
  of Peshawar and took
part
  in several expeditions against the hill tribes. In 1878 he was attached to the staff of the British mission to Kabul, which the Afghans refused to allow to proceed. In May 1879, after the death of the amir Shere Ali, Cavagnari negotiated and signed the treaty of Gandamak with his successor, Yakub
Khan
 . By this the Afghans agreed to admit a British
resident
  at Kabul; and the post was conferred on Cavagnari, who also received the
Star
  of India and was made a K.C.B. He took up his residence in July, and for a time all seemed to go well, but on the 3rd of September Cavagnari and the other European members of the mission were massacred in a sudden rising of mutinous Afghan troops. (See AFGHANISTAN.)
