I'm trying to figure out if he took a personal servant or if the other marines waited on him. Who shaved him in the morning and stood behind his chair at dinner? Or did he actually look after himself? Did officers have personal servants in the Royal Marines in 1788?
The Sirius passenger list names Bernard De Maliez (also called Bernard Malier in other sources) as personal servant to Arthur Phillip. Possibly this is the "French Cook" referred to in retrospect in Tench's Account of the Settlement of Port Jackson.
