Charles Morris Woodford
Charles Morris Woodford was an English naturalist who explored the Solomon Islands in the 1880s and urged Britain to annex them. In 1896 he became the first Resident Commissioner of the British Solomon Islands Protectorate, setting up the administration at Tulagi. He governed until 1915 with very few staff, relying on plantation companies and a small armed constabulary.
