'Sir Edward Ridley Colbourne Bradford is a Colonel in the Madras Staff Corps, but for many years past has worked in the Civil Service of India, his last appointment being that of agent for the Governor-General at Rajpootana. Since his retirement from India he has been Secretary of the Political and Secret Department of the India Office...He entered the Madras Army in 1853, and attained the rank of Colonel in 1882...he served in the Persian campaign (1857) and in the North-West Provinces (1858-9) [and]...was chief of the staff attending Prince Albert Victor during his recent tour in India. He has lost one of his arms, the result of an encounter with a tiger some years ago. Mr. Monro...relinquished his post of Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police...and introduced...Sir Edward to the principal officers at Scotland-yard...Chief Superintendent Fisher, on behalf of all the officers and men of the force, tendered the expression of their deep regret at [Mr. Monro's] retirement. Sir E. Bradford...addressed the Superintendents, asking them to extend to him that loyal support which had been enjoyed by his predecessor'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
