Encyclopedia : H : HE : HER : Herbert Asquith (poet)

The Honourable Herbert Asquith (1881-1947) was the son of Herbert Henry Asquith, British Prime Minister — with whom he is frequently confused — and younger brother of Raymond Asquith. He was a poet; his wife Cynthia Asquith, whom he married in 1910, was a writer.

Asquith was much affected by his service in World War One. His poems include "The Fallen Subaltern" and "The Volunteer", both of which are memorials to fallen soldiers. His books include "Roon" and "Young Orland". Veterens will find his works most moving.
