  • Notes 
    • Major General Richard Matthews RUCK and Colonel Oliver Edwal RUCK were career soldiers (in the Royal Engineers Submarine Mining Division) so don't always appear in the censuses. Richard was part of the War Cabinet in the Great War and was knighted in 1920.
      Richard and Oliver both played in FA Cup finals in different years - Richard's team won and Oliver's lost!!!!!

      Oliver Edwal Ruck. Lieutenant, 28-1-1875; Captain, 28-1-1886; Major, 3-11-1894. War Service: Transvaal, 1881.
      Richard Matthews Ruck. Lieutenant, 2-8-1871; Captain, 2-8-1883; Major, 17-12-1889; Lieutenant Colonel, 31-12-1896.
