Herbert Asquith (1881-1947) was the second son of Herbert Henry Asquith, British Prime Minister — with whom he is frequently confused — and younger brother of Raymond Asquith. He was a poet, novelist, and lawyer; his wife Lady Cynthia Asquith, whom he married in 1910, was a writer. She was the daughter of Hugo Richard Charteris, 11th Earl of Wemyss (1857 – 1937) and Mary Constance Wyndham.
Asquith was greatly affected by his service with the Royal Artillery in World War I. His poems include "The Fallen Subaltern" which is a memorial to fallen soldiers. His books include "Roon" and "Young Orland". "The Volunteer" is a recruitment poem written in 1912.[1]
