Abstract
The details of the life of Sir Fairfax Cartwright are extremely difficult to establish as his name is mentioned in neither DeBrett nor in the National Dictionary of Biography. He was born in 1857, the son of a wealthy Englishman and a German peasant woman. His grandmother was also a German, but from very good family and consequently his father was very well connected in Berlin society, being a friend of the Crown Prince Frederick.
