Frank Sly

Sir Frank George Sly, KCSI (1866 – 16 July 1928) was the first British governor of the Central Provinces of India and instrumental in the Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms.

In January 1920, Sly returned to the Central Provinces and Berar as Chief Commissioner, and later that year was appointed Governor.

On 28 July 1910, Sir Frank was granted a divorce from Dane on the grounds of "adultery with Hubert Druce".

[citation needed] Sly's daughter Joan joined him in India, where she met her future husband John Ray Geddes.

[7][8] The inquest into their deaths noted that the couple had taken out extensive loans to fund their wedding and subsequent honeymoon, and had run into financial troubles.
