Sir Richard Waldie Griffiths (1850–1933)

Sir Richard Waldie-Griffith was born in 1850, and educated at Jesus College, Cambridge. Joining the 2nd Dragoon Guards, he served with that regiment for a number of years and retired with the rank of captain. In 1889 on the death of his father, he succeeded to the baronetcy and the family estates at Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotland, and vast mining properties in Bohemia (now Czechoslovakia) which had belonged to the family for centuries. In addition to his Scottish home he had a residence at Newmarket where he kept a racing stable. He lived for a number of years in Western Australia.
