PARTIAL DESCRIPTION FROM THE BIOGRAPHY: MAJOR LORD EDWARD CECIL, D.S.O. - LORD SALISBURY may well he proud of his soldier son, for there are few officers of the Brigade of Guards of his age and service who have had a wider experience, and none who are more universally popular. Lord Edward Herbert Cecil was born on July 12th, 1867, and obtained his Second Lieutenancy in the Grenadier Guards on April 30th, 1887. After doing regimental duty for tour years, during which time there was no young officer more painstaking than himself, Lord Edward joined the Staff of Field Marshal Lord Wolseley, Commanding the Forces in Ireland, as Aide-de-Carnp, on April 30th, 1891. On March 16th, 1892, he obtained his Lieutenancy, and on November 16th following left his lordship's staff. Shortly afterwards he was selected to, accompany a diplomatic mission to Abyssinia, when he was decorated by King Menelik with the Third Class of the Star of Ethiopia.
