Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Hervey Rhodes, Baron Rhodes, KG, DFC, PC (12 August 1895 11 September 1987) was a British Labour Party politician. Born in Saddleworth in the West Riding of Yorkshire, Rhodes was educated at St Mary''s School, Greenfield, then at Huddersfield Technical College. He was employed within the woolen industry. During the Great War he served initially with the King''s Own Royal Lancashire Regiment, and later the Yorkshire Regiment. Seconded to the Royal Flying Corps, Rhodes served as an Observer/gunner with No. 12 Squadron flying the RE 8. Despite the fact the Squadron was mainly engaged on reconnaissance and artillery spotting duties, Rhodes, with his usual pilot South African Lt. C.R. Pithey, claimed as a crew a total of 5 enemy aircraft destroyed and a further 5 claimed ''out of control'', Rhodes winning the Distinguished Flying Cross and Bar. He was badly wounded in September 1918, and walked with a limp for the rest of his life. He left with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.
