He was then promoted to become a Major in 1914 and during the same year, he became Assistant Adjutant-General for recruiting in the Egyptian Army. In 1919, he retired from the army to become the Senior Inspector in the Egyptian Ministry of the Interior, and he later became the Oriental Secretary to the British Residency in Cairo. He retired in 1924 but continued to live in Egypt, expanding his interests in Egyptology and Oriental Studies.[1]<br />The museum takes its name from Major R.G. Gayer-Anderson Pasha, who resided in the house between 1935 and 1942 with special permission from the Egyptian Government<br />Gayer-Anderson, a retired collector and self-described Orientalist, oversaw the restoration of the house and elaborately furnished each room thematically. In 1942, the Major was forced by ill health to leave Egypt and return to Britain, and he gave the contents of the house to the Egyptian government. <br />Robert Greville and Thomas Gayer, the identical twin brothers, born in Ireland on 29 July 1881, sons of Robert Henry Anderson and his wife Mary née Morgan who took the name Gayer-Anderson. His father moved to Tonbridge, Kent in 1884 so that his sons could be schooled at Tonbridge, both brothers followed service careers, but along separate though occasionally converging paths. Though separated by great distances early in their careers, they were intensely conscious of their relationship and thought of themselves as a unity: thus they were able to acquire independently yet build and hold the collection in common with untroubled unanimity. Thomas entered the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich in 1898 and commissioned into the Royal Field Artillary in 1899 and later passed through Staff College. He served in the Boer War in South Africa 1900-1902 and in Sudan being seconded to the Egyptian Army 1911-1914.

Thomas spent two years in Constantinople and was promoted to Colonel in 1922. He had a spell at Staff College, Camberley followed by three years in on the General Staff in India before retiring to Little Hall, Lavenham, Suffolk in 1929. Thomas was a keen draughtsman as such was prompted to seek out images in that medium and during a collecting tour through Rajputana, India he recorded that Indian drawings were then so little considered locally that owners would not produce them unless pressed to do so. On his retirement was a figure painter who exhibited three painting at the Royal Academy 1929-1938, from London in 1929 and then from Lavenham. Thomas died at Lavenham on 10 June 1960. The brothers had been great art lovers and they collected miniatures, paintings and several other art objects from different regions of India and Egypt and donated their collections to different museums including Australia, Cairo, the FitzWilliam Museum Cambridge, the British Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London.
