Digitised by Google Books from the collection at the University of Michigan https://books.google.com/books?id=m4k2AAAAMAAJ Biographical details Leland Buxton (1884–1967) His brother, Edward Noel-Buxton (1869–1948), was a cofounder of the London-based Balkan Committee, an organization established in 1903 (after the ill-fated Ilinden uprising in Macedonia) to influence English policy in the Balkans. In 1903, the Balkan Committee organized a mission, in which Buxton very likely took part, to aid the Bulgarians of Macedonia in redressing the grievances they had suffered at the hands of the Turks. Buxton served in the Egyptian Civil Service between 1907 and 1909. In 1914 he was barrister Inner Temple. He gained the rank of Staff Captain in the Hejaz Operations [Arabia]. At the time of his son’s birth in 1918 he was a captain in the British Army intelligence serving in Cairo. https://www.doaks.org/resources/bliss-tyler-correspondence/annotations/leland-buxton http://www.thepeerage.com/p5051.htm#i50505 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aubrey_Buxton,_Baron_Buxton_of_Alsa [son of Leland]
