Biographical data
Name: Germaine, Robert Arthur  
Born: 1854
Died: 4 June 1905
 
Notes:
Name given as 'R.A. Germaine' by Sergeant (p.345) and in the 13 Apr. 1878 issue of the Illustrated London News (p.350) but 'R.H. Germaine' in the 20 Apr. 1878 issue (p.375). Saunders gives his name as 'Robert Arthur Germain(e)', so two spellings of his surname may have been used.
