>> Thank you Neville Chamberlin

That might have gone over some of the young guys' heads, so I thought I'd provide a short biography.

Chamberlain, (Arthur) Neville (1869–1940)

British statesman and prime minister (1937–40), born in Birmingham, West Midlands, C England, UK, the son of Joseph Chamberlain by his second marriage. He studied at Rugby and Birmingham, was Mayor of Birmingham (1915–16), a Conservative MP from 1918, Chancellor of the Exchequer (1923–4, 1931–7), and three times minister for health (1923, 1924–9, 1931). He played a leading part in the formation of the National Government (1931). As prime minister, he advocated ‘appeasement’ of Italy and Germany, returning from Munich with his claim to have found ‘peace for our time’ (1938). Criticism of his war leadership and initial military reverses led to his resignation as prime minister (1940), and his appointment as Lord President of the Council.
