Provenance : bookplate of Hilda Mary and Cortlandt MacMahon. The life and career of Sir Archibald Sinclair [later 1st Viscount Thurso (1890-1970)] were intimately connected from an early age with those of Winston Churchill with whom he had much in common, from an American mother to a cavalry officer's training and a speech impediment. Sinclair served as second-in-command under Churchill at the Western Front in 1916, as Churchill's personal military secretary and then private secretary from 1919 until his election as an MP in 1922, and later, as leader of the Liberal Party, as secretary of state for air in Churchill's wartime government.
