Major General Sir Richard Granville Hylton Howard-Vyse KCMG, DSO, JP, DL (27 June 1883 – 5 December 1962) was a cavalry officer in the British Army.

[6] Now a captain, Howard-Vyse attended the British Army's Staff College, Camberley from January 1911.

It was at Cairo that he married his fiancée, Phyllis Hermione, daughter of Francis Saxham Elwas Drury, on 15 October 1925.

He was then made the chief of staff to Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester for his tour of Australia, being awarded a knighthood.

[15] On 14 June 1940, Howard-Vyse was told by Alanbrooke to fly home to London to explain to John Dill (CIGS) that the proposed Brittany Defence Scheme (Redoubt) was quite impossible, and all British troops should be evacuated from France as quickly as possible.

[16] In June 1950 he was removed from the reserve list by reason of age,[17] and became the honorary colonel of the Royal Horse Guards in July 1951.
