The Hon. Davina Mercia Herbert is here with her father, Viscount Clive, who has been killed in action.
Squadron-Leader Lord Clive was 6ft. 4in., one of the tallest men in the House of Lords. His little daughter inherits the barony of Darcy of Knayth. Lord Clive was a direct descendent of the man who established British rule in India. He held the barony in his own right, and his was one of the few cases where father and son sat in the House of Lords together.
