Hi Nick, I am very interested in the historical leaders on Castellorizo. Can you tell me who the French governors were
between 1915-1921 and the local leaders during the two periods of local autonomy 1828-33 and 1913-15? I have been looking for many years and have only just today found a partial entry for
Raymond Terme as governor in 1918:
1828 - 1833 Greek administration during War of Independence.
1/14 Mar. 1913 - 1915 Autonomous.
28 Dec. 1915 - 1 Mar. 1921 Occupied by France.
1 Mar 1921 Italian administration.
11 Jul. 1922 Part of Italian Dodecanese Islands
9 Sep. 1943 - May 1945 British occupation.
May '45 - 15 Sept 1947 British administration.
15 Sep. 1947 Greek administration.
22 Mar. 1948 Incorporated into Greece.
Leaders
1828 - 1833 No specific leader - governed by a local demogerontia (council) of 5 elected persons
1913 -1915 Following the 1/14 March revolt against the local Ottoman authorities, the island was led by a local military administrator, Ioannis Lakerdis, until Castellorizo was formally made a sub-administration of the Greek Kingdom (under the authority of Samos) on 1 August of that year. A governor, Vasilios Tzavellas, was despatched to the island, but he was ousted by the locals in February 1914. Another Greek appointee, Kostas Stavrakis, arrived soon after from Crete, but he, too, was ousted in September 1914. Finally, the last Greek governor of the island, Odysseas Horologas, arrived in February 1915, and his 'arrest' by Lakerdis and his men, who had by now tied their fortunes to French intervention, led to the arrival of the French forces on 28 December 1915.
French Governors:
17/1/16 - 18/7/17 Henry Marie Bourdoncle de Saint-Salvy
18/7/17 - 14/7/19 Le Camus
11/8/19 - 1/3/21 Raymond Terme
Thanks very much for your help!

Ben,
I have modified your post with the additional details which are italicised for your ease of reference - I trust this gives you the information you need.
By the way, Castellorizo was never occupied by the Germans, but remained under British military occupation until the end of the War.
