Hi All

Does anyone know of or have any information on The Honourable Julian Grenfell ?
I am lead to believe that he was a younger brother of Major Francis Wallace Grenfell and took part in the Zulu War.

Yours anticipation

I found a Julian Francis Henry Grenfell, born 30 March 1888 in London. He was the older son of William Henry Grenfell (Lord Desborough). A newspaper report showed Captain the Hon. Julian Grenfell, D.S.O., son of Lord Desborough, died in a hospital on 26 May 1915 from wounds received in battle at Ypres on 13 May.

Is this the man you are looking for?

Andy,

Francis Grenfell had an elder brother, Pascoe, and two younger sisters Eleanor and Madelina.

I’d go the poet that Tom has discovered, in that case I cannot see a link to Francis Grenfell.

Hi Both

Thank you for the information.

It was just as I found, I can not link Julian Grenfell to Francis Wallace Grenfell or the Zulu War.

Many thanks for sharing with me.
