Richard Amphlett Lamb was born at Poona, India, on 4 April 1858, son of Veterinary Surgeon William Lamb, 3rd Bombay Cavalry. Educated at Highgate Grammar School, he passed the Indian Civil Service examination in 1877 and was posted to Bombay, where he joined the Indian Civil Service in 1879. He served first at assistant collector, magistrate, and later as forest settlement officer, at Kandesh. He was one of the younger civilians selected for service in Upper Burma where he was appointed Deputy Commissioner in 1887. For his share in suppressing the dacoity which so long delayed pacification he was awarded the medal and clasp. After his return to his own Presidency as a collector, it fell to him in 1897 to act as chairman of the Poona Plague Committee soon after the assassination of its first chairman, his civilian colleague, Mr Rand. Later, he made an excellent Commissioner of the Central Division, for he had a thorough grasp of the complicated revenue system, and was both assiduous and sympathetic. He also did good wrk in the Secretariat, where he filled various departmental secretaryships, and in the Commissionership of Customs, Salt, &c. He was appointed a member of the Executive Council of the Government of Bombay, for which Lord Sydenham selected him in 1910. He was awarded the Kaisar-I-Hind medal (1st Class-Gold) in 1900, and appointed C.I.E. in 1901; C.S.I. in 1909, and knighted as K.C.S.I. at the Delhi Coronation Durbar in 1911. Sir Richard married at Colaba, Bombay, on 31 May 1901, Kathleen Maud, daughter of Lieutenant-Colonel J. P. Barry, I.M.S., and had a family of four sons. He died at his residence, Tudor House, Broadway, Worcestershire, on 27 January 1923.
