George Henry Charles Francis Malcolm Drummond,
styled Viscount Forth, |
|
|
|
|
son of the 5th Earl of Perth, and his son,
styled Lord Drummond |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the death of the 4th Earl of Perth in May
1716, his son and heir, James Drummond, who |
|
|
|
had commanded the Jacobite cavalry at the
Battle of Sheriffmuir on 13 Nov 1715, was unable |
|
|
|
to inherit the peerage, since he had been
attainted on 17 Feb 1716 for his role in the Jacobite |
|
|
|
Rebellion. The peerage remained forfeited until
1853, when George Drummond obtained a |
|
|
|
|
reversal of the attainder on both this peerage
and also the Earldom of Melfort and its subsidiary |
|
|
|
titles. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Forth
was born in Naples on 13 May 1834, second (but oldest surviving son) of the
George |
|
|
|
Drummond mentioned above. When George Drummond
became the 5th Earl in 1853, his son |
|
|
|
|
became styled Viscount Forth, one of the
subsidiary titles of the Earldom of Melfort. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Forth enlisted in the 42nd Highlanders in
December 1853 and was posted to the Crimea, where |
|
|
|
he arrived on 14 September 1854, just prior to
the Battle of Alma. At that battle, Forth carried |
|
|
|
the regimental colours. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One version of what happened next is described
in a letter written by his father to 'The Times' |
|
|
|
and published in that newspaper on 23 April 1855:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Various
unpleasant allusions having been made in the newspapers regarding the conduct
of my |
|
|
|
son, Lord Forth (late of the 42nd Regiment), in
the Crimea, I shall feel much obliged if you will |
|
|
|
have
the kindness to insert this letter in one of the next numbers of your paper,
and I beg to |
|
|
|
add that it was out of my power to make this
request before, in consequence of the necessity |
|
|
|
of having several communications on the subject
with officers in the Crimea. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'My
son obtained his commission in October, 1853, and joined the 42nd Regiment in
the |
|
|
|
|
following December. In May, 1854, he
accompanied his regiment to Varna, and landed in the |
|
|
|
Crimea on the 14th of September, and carried
the colours of the regiment at the battle of the |
|
|
|
Alma, on the 20th. Immediately after the battle
Colonel Cameron, commanding the 42nd |
|
|
|
|
Regiment, addressed my son and said, "I am
glad to hear that you have been present in one of |
|
|
|
the most severe actions ever known; you carried
the colours, did you not?" My son's reply was, |
|
|
|
"Yes;" and Colonel Cameron continued,
"It was a very honourable post, and a good thing for a |
|
|
|
young man to have seen such service." The
above conversation is stated by Colonel Cameron |
|
|
|
to
have been correctly reported to me, and this is all that took place regarding
the battle of |
|
|
|
the
Alma, the only battle in which the 42nd Regiment has been engaged since it
left England, |
|
|
|
that regiment not having been present either at
Balaklava or Inkermann. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'After
having been some time before Sebastopol, and having done his duty regularly
in the |
|
|
|
|
trenches, on picket, etc., my son, being very
unwell, the result of the great hardships he had |
|
|
|
undergone,
resolved to retire from the service, on account of his bad state of health,
as soon |
|
|
|
as
Sebastopol was taken, and he sent in his papers requesting leave to sell out
as soon as that |
|
|
|
object
was attained; but he continued to do his duty in the trenches, etc., until
one day, |
|
|
|
|
having
only returned at noon, after having been 24 hours in the trenches, he was
much |
|
|
|
|
exhausted,
and as soon as he reached his tent rested for a couple of hours, without
having |
|
|
|
taken
any food. At 3 o'clock he went off to dine with a friend at the Commissariat
quarters, |
|
|
|
and
a few minutes after he had got there, and before dinner began, he was sent
for to go with |
|
|
|
a
covering party; he took his cloak to start at once, but was prevailed upon to
drink some wine |
|
|
|
before
he started, and to take some bread with him. When he reached his quarters,
finding the |
|
|
|
covering
party had gone, and that his place was taken by another officer, he resolved
to go |
|
|
|
back and have his dinner, and afterwards to
join the men at the halt. On being subsequently |
|
|
|
desired
by his colonel to go at once, he stubbornly refused, stating that he had had
no dinner, |
|
|
|
that
he had plenty of time to dine, and overtake the men before they got to the
trenches, and |
|
|
|
that
he would not go without his dinner. This insubordinate refusal to obey his
colonel's orders |
|
|
|
caused
an altercation, and the colonel, finding him so stubborn (and being much
irritated, no |
|
|
|
doubt,
at his determination not to go before he had had his dinner), said to him, to
rouse him, |
|
|
|
"If you do not go at once, I will not
believe it is for want of your dinner that you refuse to go, |
|
|
|
but
I will attribute it to fear, or, at all events, to gross
insubordination." After some |
|
|
|
|
consideration,
my son made up his mind to go without his dinner, and he joined the men at
the |
|
|
|
halt,
reported himself to the officer in command, and relieved the officer who had
taken his |
|
|
|
place. It was after waiting a considerable time
at the halt that it became sufficiently dark for |
|
|
|
the
covering party to enter the trenches. Having considered what had taken place,
the next |
|
|
|
morning,
on his return to his quarters, my son sent in his immediate resignation, but
he |
|
|
|
|
continued
to do his duty in the trenches, etc., for several days and nights more, until
one |
|
|
|
|
morning,
on his return from the trenches, he received his leave of absence from Lord
Raglan to |
|
|
|
return
to England, to retire from the service, as he had requested, and he only then
ceased |
|
|
|
doing duty, and left the camp for Balaklava to
embark. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'This
most unfortunate altercation, arising, I deplore to say, from my son's
inattention to his |
|
|
|
military duty and want of subordination to the
orders of Colonel Cameron, has been the |
|
|
|
|
foundation of many anonymous, slanderous and
absurd falsehoods which have been so |
|
|
|
|
uncharitably set about regarding him, and which
it was out of my power to deny until I had |
|
|
|
ascertained from various persons who were on
the spot, and from Colonel Cameron himself, |
|
|
|
the truth of this most painful affair. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I
have the honour to be, Sir |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your most obedient, humble servant, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
PERTH AND MELFORT' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On 29 May 1855, Colonel Cameron's response to
the above letter was published in 'The Times.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir
- as the last paragraph in the letter from the Earl of Perth which appeared
in The Times |
|
|
|
of the 23rd of April may have led the public to
infer that the account therein given of his son's |
|
|
|
conduct in the 42nd Regiment before Sebastopol
was derived from information furnished by me, |
|
|
|
I
think it right to state that his Lordship's letter, besides omitting some
important facts, |
|
|
|
|
contains may statements not authorised by any
information ever given by me to his Lordship.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
According to Forth's entry in the Oxford
Dictionary of National Biography, 'detrimental versions |
|
|
|
of
this incident circulated widely.' Shortly after his return from the Crimea,
when his name |
|
|
|
|
appeared
in one newspaper, he is described as being "Lord Forth, of Crimean
notoriety." |
|
|
|
|
American
newspapers, which were less concerned about being sued for libel, described
him as |
|
|
|
"the
valiant Lord Forth, who was kicked out of the British camp in the Crimea for
cowardly |
|
|
|
|
conduct."
Other reports which appeared in 'The Chicago Daily Tribune' on 19 August 1887
and |
|
|
|
11 October 1899 were far more direct in their
accusations against Viscount Forth, as interested |
|
|
|
readers can discover for themselves if they
look up those particular editions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Forth married, on 24 October 1855, Harriet Mary
Capell, niece of the 6th Earl of Essex. After |
|
|
|
one child, a son, styled Lord Drummond, had
been born, the couple separated in 1858. In |
|
|
|
|
April
1861, the Divorce Court heard her petition for a divorce from Viscount Forth,
based on |
|
|
|
his wife's allegations of adultery and cruelty.
It was shown in evidence that Forth was an |
|
|
|
|
habitual drunkard, often in a state of delerium tremens, and often
physically assaulted his |
|
|
|
|
wife. It was alleged that, on one occasion, he
threatened to "contract a certain disease |
|
|
|
|
[syphilis?]
and infect both her and the child with it." In any event, it seems that
Harriet's |
|
|
|
|
reputation had been somewhat tarnished by her
relationship with a Captain Theophilus Blakely, |
|
|
|
inventor of the Blakely gun used in the
American Civil War. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shortly after the divorce case, in July 1861,
Forth moved to the Spa Hotel in Gloucester. Here |
|
|
|
he lived under the name of Captain Drummond,
together with a lady whom he passed off as his |
|
|
|
wife.
On 19 September 1861, this woman gave birth to a baby girl, but the woman |
|
|
|
|
unfortunately died on 8 October 1861. In a
report in 'The Times' of 11 October 1861, '[Lord |
|
|
|
Forth]
was with her at the time of his death, was very much grieved, and wept
bitterly. |
|
|
|
|
Soon afterwards he commenced drinking brandy,
and appeared like a madman. In this |
|
|
|
|
distracted
state he continued for several hours, after which he commenced packing his
own |
|
|
|
and the deceased lady's clothes……He then left
that room (in which were the nurse and |
|
|
|
|
landlady) and proceeded to another opposite,
followed by the nurse, whose suspicions were |
|
|
|
excited by his conduct. He asked what was the
matter, at the same time putting a bottle to |
|
|
|
his mouth. The nurse exclaimed, "Good God!
He's got hold of the laudanum bottle!" The landlady |
|
|
|
seized the bottle and succeeded in wresting it
from him, but not until he had drunk nearly half. |
|
|
|
He said, "It's only a little port
wine," and descended to the sitting room. A doctor was sent for |
|
|
|
and
soon arrived; he found his Lordship walking up and down in the room, and was
just in time |
|
|
|
to prevent him from cutting his throat with a
knife. The deceased nobleman continued to walk |
|
|
|
up and down in the room, until at last he
exclaimed, "Oh! how funny I feel," and became |
|
|
|
|
insensible. The stomach pump was used, but
without success; it was found impossible to |
|
|
|
|
restore him.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The fates of Forth's ex-wife and son were
equally melancholy. His ex-wife is reported to have |
|
|
|
died from yellow fever, in a destitute state,
in Lima, Peru in April 1868. His son, Lord Drummond, |
|
|
|
died in New York in August 1887 at the age of
30, apparently from consumption. He is reported |
|
|
|
to have earned a living as a ticket checker on
the New York elevated railway and as a night |
|
|
|
porter at a New
York newspaper. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upon
his death, the following article appeared in 'The Illustrated Police News' on
20 August |
|
|
|
1887, under the heading of "A Romance of
the Peerage" :- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Some
strange particulars are given of the life of George Montifex, Lord Drummond,
who died |
|
|
|
a few days ago in the United States. He was
born in 1856, and, upon becoming an orphan, was |
|
|
|
entrusted to the guardianship of his maternal
grandmother, the Honourable Mrs. Capel, who |
|
|
|
resided
at Folkestone. Here, it is stated, he associated with fishermen, and assumed
their |
|
|
|
|
dress. His tutor tried in vain every inducement
to wean him from this company. He was a most |
|
|
|
handsome
lad and of the utmost daring. Fishermen of Folkestone narrate many stories |
|
|
|
|
illustrative of his intrepid courage, for it
was his great delight to be on the sea, and the more |
|
|
|
boisterous the weather the greater his
pleasure. Of course, the companionship of one so well |
|
|
|
known
was eagerly sought after amongst the class he favoured, and although as far
as |
|
|
|
|
education went he was comparatively ignorant,
nothing offended him more, or more aroused his |
|
|
|
indignation, than any reference to his title or
rank. Amongst the fisher-lads - for he frequented, |
|
|
|
unfortunately, the public-houses in the east
quarters of the town - he mixed on equal terms as |
|
|
|
their boon companion. His purse seemed open to
all, and his generosity may be judged from |
|
|
|
the following circumstance. A fisherman, having
been laid up with illness, came into a certain |
|
|
|
place, after a long absence, where his lordship
was. A subscription to assist the man was |
|
|
|
|
suggested, when Lord Drummond, emptying his
pockets, produced £1 and 5s., and, giving it to |
|
|
|
the
man, said, "Here's all I've got, and I'd give you more if I had
it." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He
made the acquaintance of Miss Eliza Harrison, who was five years his senior;
and |
|
|
|
|
immediately
after the death of his grandmother, in 1871, he married her. Apprehensive of
the |
|
|
|
disapproval of his grandfather, the Earl of
Perth, whose heir he was, he engaged a steerage |
|
|
|
passage for himself and his wife to New York,
where he obtained a situation as porter to a |
|
|
|
|
commission agent, and upon the failure of his
first employer supported himself for a time by |
|
|
|
fishing and duck shooting on Long Island. A son
was there born to him, but the child died, and |
|
|
|
the father, growing dissatisfied with his
precarious mode of life, shipped in 1877 as a common |
|
|
|
sailor. Later he secured a post as packer in a
wholesale clothing house in New York, and |
|
|
|
|
remained there until the firm failed. A second
child, a girl, still living, was born in 1881; and, |
|
|
|
having no employment, Lord Drummund found
himself reduced to most painful straits, for |
|
|
|
|
remittances from England were scanty and
uncertain. After some months of almost absolute |
|
|
|
poverty he obtained an engagement as night
gateman on the Elevated Railway, and in 1884 |
|
|
|
became a clerk in a clothing manufactory.
During all this trying period, and indeed until the |
|
|
|
|
close of his life, Lord Drummond was a model
husband and father; but his health was not good |
|
|
|
enough to enable him to continue the struggle
indefinitely; and at last he became a chronic |
|
|
|
invalid. Lady Drummond from that time forward
supported him by her needle, and did all that |
|
|
|
lay in her power to persuade her husband's
relatives to recognise the marriage, which they |
|
|
|
|
always regarded as a mesalliance.' |

Philip Benedict Joseph Petre, 15th Baron Petre |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After succeeding to the title in June 1908, the
15th Baron enjoyed it for less than six months. |
|
|
|
The following report appeared in the Adelaide
'Advertiser' on 12 January 1909:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
tragic death of Lord Petre, in modest apartments in North London, was
disclosed on |
|
|
|
|
Monday by a notification to the Coroner for
Central London. Lord Petre, who only came into |
|
|
|
the title last June, has a country seat at
Ingatestone Hall, Ingatestone, Essex, and another |
|
|
|
at Brentwood, but he had somewhat eccentric
ideas, and since he succeeded his brother
in |
|
|
|
the title he occupied two rooms in
Huntingdon-street, Barnsbury, a little distance off the |
|
|
|
|
Caledonian-road. It was in one of those rooms
that he was found unconscious on Sunday |
|
|
|
|
afternoon shortly after midday. Dr. Jackson,
who lives opposite, was at once brought over, |
|
|
|
but found his patient already dead from heart
failure. A press representative obtained some |
|
|
|
interesting particulars of Lord Petre's obscure
life in Barnsbury. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
handsome, middle-aged gentleman, with the moustache turning grey (he was 45
years |
|
|
|
old) was known at the Huntingdon-street address
simply as "Mr. Petre," and the people of |
|
|
|
|
the house only discovered by accident about a
fortnight ago his real identity. A letter arriving |
|
|
|
by
post addressed to "Lord Petre" gave the startling secret away. From all others, however, |
|
|
|
the fact was kept a profound secret. Nevertheless, a great deal of curiosity
was felt about |
|
|
|
"Mr. Petre" in the neighbourhood,
gossip being chiefly stimulated by the magnificent motor |
|
|
|
|
landau that called regularly for him every
morning at half-past 10. It is not customary for |
|
|
|
|
Barnsbury
boarders to keep big motor cars on daily hire. Where he went in the motor - |
|
|
|
|
sometimes accompanied by his valet and a friend
and sometimes alone - none knew, but he |
|
|
|
generally remained away for the best part of
the day. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Another
thing that aroused comment was the daily call of a local hairdresser to shave
him in |
|
|
|
his own rooms. "Mr. Petre" was also
addicted to extravagant acts of generosity. It was no |
|
|
|
|
uncommon thing for him to stop his car at sight
of a poor woman, with a baby, selling matches |
|
|
|
in the gutter, astonish her with a present of a
£5 note, and drive away without waiting to be |
|
|
|
thanked. Naturally the discovery of his secret,
which has followed the announcement of his |
|
|
|
death, has created a great sensation in
Huntingdon-street and the neighbourhood, a typical |
|
|
|
inner-London
boarding-house districy of small houses and little shops. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
late peer has had a romantic career. He married twenty years ago a daughter
of the late |
|
|
|
Mrs. Cavendish Taylor, once a famous American
hostess in London, but some years ago he |
|
|
|
|
renounced Society, severing himself from all
his old friends, and spending a roving life in |
|
|
|
|
England and America. It was in the West Indies
that he caught the malarial fever that left |
|
|
|
|
him with the weak heart which caused his sudden
death, and when he unexpectedly came |
|
|
|
|
into the barony last June his whereabouts were
for some time undiscoverable by the family |
|
|
|
|
lawyers. The family is one of the oldest in
England, sharing with the Duke of Norfolk the |
|
|
|
|
headship
of the Catholic Church in England. The barony was created in 1603. The new
peer |
|
|
|
is deceased's son, the Hon. Lionel George
Carroll Petre, a lad of 17.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the subsequent inquest into Lord Petre's
death, evidence was given that 'on Sunday last |
|
|
|
he rose as usual and went to the lavatory,
taking with him a glass of whisky and soda. Half an |
|
|
|
hour later his hairdresser, who attended him
every day, arrived. As Lord Petre did not appear |
|
|
|
the
door of the lavatory was forced, and he was found dead.' The inquest returned
a verdict |
|
|
|
of death from natural causes, the immediate
cause being a blood-clot on the brain. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Plunket, together with his wife and the pilot,
died in a plane crash on 24 February 1938. The |
|
|
|
following edited report appeared in the 'Los
Angeles Times' of 25 February 1938:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lord
Terence Conyngham Plunket [sic], 38-year-old member of the Irish Parliament,
and his |
|
|
|
wife, Lady Plunket, lady-in-waiting to Queen
Elizabeth of England and [illegitimate] daughter |
|
|
|
of actress Fanny Ward [by the 7th Marquess of
Londonderry], were killed instantly last night |
|
|
|
at San Simeon when a private airplane in which
they rode crashed and burned. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Pilot
Tex Phillips, thrown clear of the wreckage, also died when the ship he sought
to guide |
|
|
|
into
the fog-bound airport at William Randolph Hearst's seacoast ranch smashed to
earth a |
|
|
|
mile south of
the landing field. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'[The]
only one of four [on board] to escape instant death, James Lawrence,
34-year-old son of |
|
|
|
Sir
Walter Lawrence of London, suffered serious burns and a broken leg. He was
taken to San |
|
|
|
Luis Obispo Sanitarium, where surgeons said his
condition is serious. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
large, all-metal monoplane burst into roaring flames the moment it struck the
ground, |
|
|
|
|
according to witnesses. Roy Summers, postmaster
at San Simeon, heard the noise of the impact |
|
|
|
and rushed to the scene. He found Phillips
dead, Lawrence staggering about in a daze, and the |
|
|
|
Plunkets
trapped in the blazing cabin. Both, apparently, were killed instantly. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In
good weather and carrying instruments for blind-flying, the aircraft, which
belongs to the |
|
|
|
newspaper publisher's aerial fleet, left Union
Air Terminal, Burbank, at 2.40 p.m. with Phillips |
|
|
|
at the controls. The 150-mile flight took them
slightly more than an hour. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Apparently,
reports indicated, Phillips was attempting the hazardous job of setting the
metal- |
|
|
|
cabin monoplane down on the ranch airport in a
blinding fog when the crash occurred.' |
