A Colonial Surgeon was a medical official in the British Empire. Colonial Surgeons were sometimes part of the government of British colonies, for instance in British Honduras where the Colonial Surgeon was a member of the Executive Council.[1] Daniel Robertson was Colonial Secretary and Acting Governor of the Gambia in the mid-nineteenth century. Samuel Rowe was twice governor of Sierra Leone and held several other senior positions.
