Hambro B E Lt Royal Horse Artillery

LIEUTENANT BERTRAM EMIL HAMBRO, was born in 1880 and educated at Eton. On leaving school he travelled and worked as a sheep-rancher in Australia and visited Africa and South America. He became a member of the Stock Exchange in 1913 and joined the firm of Milton, Gibbes, and Smith.

In September 1914 he was given his commission as Lieutenant- Interpreter and was sent at once to France, where he was attached to “A” Battery, R.H.A., with the 1st Indian Cavalry Division. He was never very strong, and the severity of the winter undermined his health and compelled him to resign his commission in February. He went on a voyage to the Argentine in the hope that it would benefit him, but he died at Buenos Aires in April.

Lieutenant Hambro was a man of peculiar charm of character, and devoted many hours of a busy life to philanthropic work. He married in 1912, Marjorie, daughter of the late Sir Nevile Lubbock, and left two daughters.
