EDITORS COMMENTS
The Lennox-Boyd brothers, captured in a studio photograph around 1915, stand proudly side by side, dressed in uniforms reminiscent of First World War British Army officers. From left to right: George Edward Lennox-Boyd (1902-1943), Alan Tindal Lennox-Boyd (1904-1983), Donald Breay Hague Lennox-Boyd (1906-1939), and Francis Gordon Lennox-Boyd (1909-1944). Alan Tindal Lennox Boyd, born on November 18th, 1904, was the son of Alan Walter Lennox Boyd and Florence Annie Begbie. Educated at Sherborne School and Christ Church, Oxford, he went on to have an illustrious career in politics. Serving as a Member of Parliament for Mid-Bedfordshire from 1931 to 1960, he held various ministerial positions including Minister for Transport and Civil Aviation and Secretary of State for Colonial Affairs. During the Second World War, Alan served as a Lieutenant in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve while also practicing law as a Barrister at Law. His dedication earned him numerous accolades such as being appointed Privy Counsellor in 1951 and Companion of Honour in 1960. Tragically, his brothers' lives were cut short due to their military service. George passed away in Scotland's military hospital while serving as a Major in the Highland Light Infantry; Donald died under custody during events leading up to the Second World War when he was serving as a Captain in the Scots Guards; Francis lost his life leading the charge with his unit at Normandy's battlefront where he served as a Major with the Royal Scots Greys. This image serves not only as a testament to brotherly bond but also highlights their remarkable contributions during one of history's most challenging periods.
