Sir Charles

I have been reading a bit more about Sir Charles Palmour [my great uncle].
"In 1938 he led the British delegation to the International Congress of Accountants in Berlin at the time of the Munich crisis, and though he behaved with dignity and decorum in public, his colleagues were frightened behind the scenes that he would bring on war a year earlier than it happened"
and

"He was a forceful and picturesque character, with a manner as blunt as his heart was kind."
