Gerald Gliddon,Hugh Cecil
Gerald Gliddon's fine book is a valuable historical record of the role of the aristocracy of Great Britain in the Great War. He chose to concentrate on peers and their sons, but with a number of Baronets included as well. While not all the families of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland are included, more than 600 families are covered, out of a possible 680, and the English counties are virtually complete. The book is presented in alphabetical order by county with the family seats presented similarly.
