Kitchener was born in Estmere in 1859 and joined the army at age 18. He soon proved to be a capable commander, but was forced to retire from active soldiering in late 1902 following a serious injury that forced him to walk with a walking stick for the rest of his life.

In 1903 he was appointed Governor-General of Satavia, and in 1904 became an honorary General in the Satavian Army. He would serve as Governor-General until 1912, when he was succeded by Arthur O'Connell. He retired later that year, and lived out the rest of his life in a villa on Little Patrick in the Patrick Islands. On January 29th 1951, he suffered an aneurysm and was rushed to hospital in Patrick's Town, where he died two days later.

Governor-General of Satavia

On the 1st January 1903, Kitchener was unexpectedly appointed Governor-General of Satavia - a controversial decision, as since the appointment of Sir John Warwick, 4th Earl of Northport in 1870 the position had been held by a Satavian.
