Lord Lieutenant-General and General Governor

We have often noted the weird and wonderful variation in the titles
given to British governors, but this one was new to me. It is from a
reproduction (in Charles Townshend's book "Easter 1916") of the poster
announcing the introduction of martial law in Dublin on 25 April 1916:

"I, Ivor Churchill, Baron Wimborne, Lord Lieutenant-General and
General Governor of Ireland ... do hereby proclaim ... "

Is it possible the Castle printers would have made a mistake in such a
thing? The more times I read it, the more improbable it seems.

CJ Buyers...

I presume that your question was about the title of his office, not the
use of his (correct) Christian names?

Don Aitken...

Yes.

If so, my understanding is that the formal title of the office was "Her
Majesty's Lieutenant- General and General Governor". I cannot now place
my source but I think that was how I have seen it appear at the head of
the Privy Council lists.

Don Aitken...

Thanks very much for that. There is a mention later in the book that
Wimbornes's successor, Lord French, as he then was, "was allowed to
use the title of Viceroy", which suggests that the title used varied.

CJ Buyers...

My understanding was that Viceroy was the popular, though unofficial,
designation for a very ong time before French came on the scene.

The only officially designated Viceroys seem to have been of Corsica,
Hanover and India.
