M. Wylly, a judge in the High Court of Agra. He was educated at Henley Grammar School, Wimbledon School and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, before embarking on a career as an army officer, serving first with the 95th (Derbyshire) Regiment of Foot, which in 1881 was merged into the Sherwood Foresters, of which he eventually commanded the 1st Battalion. He served in the Anglo-Egyptian War (1882), the Sikkim Expedition (1888), the Tirah Campaign (1897–98), and the Second Boer War (1899–1902) where he was mentioned in despatches and appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath. From 1907 Wylly published works on military topics, including in 1908 a biography of Sir Joseph Thackwell. In 1913, in the buildup to the First World War, Wylly became editor of ''RUSI Journal'', the journal of the Royal United Services Institute, a position he held until 1923. Many of his later works dealt with the First World War.
