The Henson Journals

Charles Waring Darwin

Charles Darwin (1855-1928; WWW), Col and Hon. Col., 3rd Bt Durham Light Infantry; chairman, Durham County Territorial Association, 1908-18; on his death, Henson described him as 'a big, rather silent Englishman, loyal and unimaginative, but immensely useful to his county. It is to the abnormal fewness of such men in Durham that the low level of the public life, and the secure dominance of organized "Labour" are largely due': Journal, 4 Aug. 1928.
