George Shipway (25 May 1908–1982) was a British author best known for his historical novels, but he also tried his hand at political satire in his book The Chilian Club. ==Military career== George Frederick Morgan Shipway was born on 25 May 1908 at Allahbad in India and was educated at Clifton.
He then attended the Royal Military College, Sandhurst and was commissioned on to the Unattached List for the Indian Army on 30 August 1928.
He arrived in India on 5 October 1928 and was attached to a British regiment: the 2nd Battalion The Prince of Wales's Volunteers (South Lancashire), for one year from 14 October 1928.
This was a standard practice, intended to enable junior officers on the Unattached List to gain practical military experience in an Indian environment before joining their regiments. After his year Shipway was posted to the 13th Duke of Connaught's Own Lancers on 20 November 1929.
After attending the Quetta Staff college in 1940-41 he became a General Staff Officer, 3rd grade at General Headquarters, India.
He remained on the staff until 1944 when he was posted to serve with the Hyderabad Lancers, an Indian State Forces unit. Shipway retired as a Major and honorary Lieutenant-Colonel on 9 January 1948, following Indian independence.

Other novels dealt with pre-classical Greek, medieval and Indian historical themes. In his 1969 novel Knight in Anarchy Shipway describes the life of Humphrey de Visdelou as he follows Geoffrey de Mandeville to his doom.
The Vis de Lou family certainly held lands in Berkshire post-Conquest. Shipway died in 1982. ==Bibliography== Imperial Governor (1968), Boudicca and Roman Britain.
