A youthful-looking Arthur Annesley in uniform. He joined the Hussars in 1900 after prior service with the Ox & Bucks Militia. A NEW book has revealed the bravery of wartime MPs who led from the front during World War One. Contrary to popular belief many of the country???s politicians did not simply watch the war from the comfort of their armchairs but rather signed up to lead at the front and many times campaigned to be allowed into the field of battle. Nearly a third of all MPs (28 per cent) were actively engaged in the war according to statistics published by The Times in April 1915. Their stories and those of MPs??? sons serving in the war have been told in Neil Thornton???s new book, Led by Lions, published by Fonthill Media. Neil Thornton / mediadrumworld.com
