Bruce Greatbatch
Sir Bruce Greatbatch (1917–1989) was the British colonial governor of Seychelles from 1969 to 1973. He oversaw the forced removal of the indigenous people of the Chagos Archipelago and ordered the gassing of the islander's pet dog population of 1,000. He called the Chagossians "unsophisticated" and "untrainable". The evacuation was carried out in order to construct an American military installation on Diego Garcia.
