Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Hamilton Settle, , KCB, DSO (27 January 1847 – 22 April 1923) was a senior British Army officer who held various commands during the Second Boer War.

[2] He was initially appointed Inspector General of Lines of Communication, stationed at Cape Town, with the temporary rank of brigadier-general from 3 March 1900.

His plan was the same as Settle's, who joined him in Prieska on 21 March 1900, and was given the task of bringing to order the rebels left in the outlying districts south of the Orange River.

Kitchener adopted his recommendation that martial law should be at once proclaimed in Cape Colony, and ordered Settle to take command on the line of communications between De Aar and Naauwpoort.

In Kitchener's plan of the following February against Hetzog and De Wet, Settle was entrusted with the duty of giving all orders for moves to the fifteen columns engaged.

[5][6] For his services in the war, he was twice mentioned in dispatches (included by Lord Kitchener 23 June 1902[7]), appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (KCB) on 29 November 1900 (invested by King Edward VII at Marlborough House on 25 July 1901), and promoted to the rank of major-general, for distinguished service, in the South Africa Honours list published on 26 June 1902.
