Lieutenant-General the Most Noble Francesco, Count Rivarola KCMG KCH[1] (also known as Sir Francis Rivarola) was a Corsican who became a senior British Army officer,[2] and served in the Napoleonic Wars throughout the Mediterranean Region. He was involved in the development of Maltese military and police forces; he also convinced the British of the value of using anti-French Mediterranean levies. He was born in 1779 on Corsica and died whilst on duty as Lieutenant Governor of Zante in 1853, on the Island of Cephalonia.[3]
