Henry Eyres-Monsell, 2nd Viscount Monsell

Henry Bolton Graham Eyres-Monsell (1905[1]–1994[2]) served in the Intelligence Corps during the Second World War, reaching the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He was mentioned in dispatches on 16 September 1943 and recommended for the MBE for his services to security during the planning stages of Operation Torch. No confirmation of this latter award has been found. However, he was awarded the United States Medal of Freedom with Bronze Palm.[3] He died without issue so the title Viscount Monsell is now extinct.
