Bartholomew Pleydell-Bouverie (1902- 1965)
The Hon. B. Pleydell-Bouverie, elected to the A.C. in 1934, was the third son of the sixth Earl of Radnor. He was educated at Harrow and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he got his blue for rugger. During the Second World War he was in the Grenadier Guards, but was seconded for duty with S.O.E. (Special Operations Executive), a 'hush-hush' organisation whose activities are the subject of a recent book, Baker Street Irregular, by Bickham Sweet-Escott.
Pleydell-Bouverie was a banker by profession, and at the time of his death was deputy chairman (resident in the U.S.A.) of the Bank of London & South America. His climbing was necessarily hindered by the outbreak of the war, and after it he was unable to continue, being considerably crippled by rheumatoid arthritis.
