From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The notable Alumni of the Royal Military College and the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst are very numerous. In particular, there are so many generals and
Victoria Cross holders from the former
Royal Military College, Sandhurst , that a full list would be immense.
This list contains a number of students who did not complete the course. Some of the members of foreign royal families were not commissioned into the British Army.
Despite claims to the contrary,
Idi Amin and
Muammar Gaddafi did not attend Sandhurst.

The Sandhurst Foundation acts as a community for the alumni of the Royal Military Academy.
