 Samuel John Gurney Hoare, 1st February 1880

– 7 May 1959), more commonly known as Sir Samuel Hoare, was a

senior served in various Cabinet posts in the Conservative and National

governments of the 1920s and 1930s. He was Secretary of State for Air during

most of the 1920s. As Secretary of State for

India in the early 1930s, he authored the Government of India Act

1935, which granted provincial-level self government to India. He is

most famous for serving as Foreign

Secretary in 1935, when he authored the Hoare–Laval Pact with French Prime Minister Pierre Laval. This partially recognised the Italian conquest

of Abyssinia (modern Ethiopia) and Hoare was forced to resign

by the ensuing public outcry. In 1936 he returned to the Cabinet as First Lord

of the Admiralty, then served as Home Secretary from 1937 to 1939 and was again briefly

Secretary of State for Air in 1940. He was seen as a leading "appeaser" and his removal from office (along with that of

Sir John Simon and

the removal of Neville Chamberlain as

Prime Minister) was a condition of Labour's agreement to serve in a coalition government in ambassador to Spain from 1940 to 1944.

Field Marshal Frederick

Rudolph Lambart, 10th Earl of October 1865 – 28 August 1946), known

as Viscount Kilcoursie from 1887 until 1900, was a British Army officer and Chief of the

Imperial General Staff. He served in the Second Boer War, led XIV Corps during

the First World War, and later

advised the Government on the implementation of the Geddes report, which advocated a large reduction in defence

expenditure; he presided over a major reduction in the size of the British

Army. Born into an aristocratic family of Anglo-Irish descent,

he was the son of the 9th Earl

of Cavan and Mary Sneade Lambart (née Olive). He

was educated at Eton College, Christ Church, Oxford, and

the Royal Military College,

Sandhurst; Lambart was commissioned into the Grenadier Guards on 29 August 1885. He gained the

courtesy title of Viscount Kilcoursie in 1887 when his father succeeded to the

Earldom and was appointed Aide-de-Camp to the Governor General of promoted to captain on

16 October 1897, after he had been appointed regimental adjutant on

25 August 1897, a position he held until 17 March 1900. By then, the

Grenadier Guards were involved in the Second Boer War in South Africa. He saw action as a

company commander in the Battle of offerdulphsberg in May 1900, and, having

succeeded to his father's titles on 14 July 1900, took part in operations

against the Boers in 1901 and was mentioned in despatches. Following

the end of the war in June 1902, he left Cape Town on

the SS Sicilia and returned to Southampton in late July. After promotion to major on 28 October

1902, he became second-in-command of 2nd Battalion Grenadier Guards in

July 1905. He was promoted again to lieutenant Officer of

2nd Battalion Grenadier Guards on

14 February 1908. Appointed a Lieutenant

of the Royal Victorian Order on 29 June 1910[11] and promoted to colonel on 4 October 1911, he retired from the

British Army on 8 November 1913[13] and became Master of Foxhounds for the Hertfordshire Hunt. At that

time he lived at Wheathampstead House in Wheathampstead.
