Frederick Edwin Smith, 1st Earl of Birkenhead, (born 12 July 1872) was a British Conservative politician who served as Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain.
He joined the Queen's Own Oxfordshire Hussars, in which Churchill was already an officer, in 1913, and was a captain in the regiment before the outbreak of the First World War. They remained friends until Smith's death in 1930, aged 58.
John Morley, 1st Viscount Morley of Blackburn, (born 24 December 1838), was a British Liberal statesman, writer and newspaper editor. Morley is best known for his writings and for his "reputation as the last of the great nineteenth-century Liberals". He died on 23 September 1923, aged eighty-four, and the viscountcy became extinct.
