Lord Methuen, born 1845, was the son of the 2nd Baron, and was married in 1879 to the daughter of Sir F H Hervey-Bathurst, Baronet, and after her death to the daughter of Mr D A Sanford. This officer, at the commencement of the war, enjoyed the distinction of being the youngest Lieutenant General in the Army. He had hitherto taken a prominent part in promoting the efficiency of the Metropolitan Volunteer Corps, which services cannot be too highly estimated. Owing to his remarkable and increasing activity during the present war, he has proved himself one of the chief mainstays of Lord Roberts's operations.
