Major-General Robert Arthur Montgomery, CB, CVO (7 September 1848 – 1931) was a British Army officer who commanded Southern District.

Military career

After graduating from the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, Montgomery was commissioned into the Royal Artillery in July 1868.[1][2]

He was Deputy Director-General of the Ordnance from 1897,[3] and was appointed Commander Royal Artillery for Southern District, based in Portsmouth, in November 1902,[4] with the rank of major-general.[5] A year later, he became General Officer Commanding Southern District, also based in Portsmouth.[6] He went on to be General Officer Commanding South Coast Defences in April 1904 and then General Officer Commanding Transvaal District in May 1906 before returning to England in April 1908.[6] In October 1908 he served on an ordnance board.[7]

He retired from the army in September 1910.[8]

He served briefly in the First World War initially as a General Officer Commanding the 22nd Division of Lord Kitchener's Army at Seaford[1] and then as Director of Recruiting in the autumn of 1915.[6]

He came from Greyabbey, Ireland[9] but lived at Pentrepant, in the parish of Selattyn, near Oswestry in Shropshire.[1] He was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in the June 1902 Coronation Honours list.[10]

Obsolete models of DNA structure

In addition to the variety of verified DNA structures, there have been a range of proposed DNA models that have either been disproven, or lack evidence. Some of these structures were proposed during the 1950s before the structure of the double helix was solved, most famously by Linus Pauling. Non-helical or side-by-side models of DNA were proposed in the 1970s to address what appeared at the time to be problems with the topology of circular DNA chromosomes during replication (subsequently res...
