Stanley Melbourne Bruce : In Australia’s Service,
single work
biography
(p. 48-54)'One hundred years ago, on November 5, 1923, a remarkable funeral service took place in Westminster Abbey. The deceased was Andrew Bonar Law—dour, puritanical, but able. He had been Tory leader for twelve years. He was the man who in 1922 had mercifully destroyed Lloyd George’s flashy and corrupt coalition. As it happened, the last straw was the “Chanak ” incident just south of Gallipoli. It caused great concern in Australia because it was thought to have brought Australia into a war with Turkey with-out Australia’s having been consulted—only seven years after Gallipoli. Bonar Law then served as Prime Minister for only 209 days before retiring with the cancer which killed him.' (Introduction)
