List of alumni of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst

The Alumni of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst is extensive. There were so many famous generals and VC holders at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst that a fair and representative list would be immense. The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst officially denies that Idi Amin and Muammar Gaddafi attended the RMAS.^[1] This list contains a number of 'students' who did not complete the course. Some of the foreign royalty were not, for example, commissioned. The Sandhurst Foundation acts as a community for the alumni of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.^[2]
