TFPL, Jul 2011: His son, J R T, in his family history gave the impression that his father spent years lecturing at Sandhurst. However the Sanhdurst staff records <http://archive.sandhurstcollection.org.uk/view/8635/127135/>; explicitly say he started in 1851 and left in 1858. So what did he do and where did he live for the rest of his life?
