Notes

University of Bristol - Historical Photographs of China reference number: ML08-d059. Alexander Dunlop Lindsay, 1st Baron Lindsay of Birker (1879-1952), a Scottish academic, took a Double First at University College, Oxford. During the First World War he served in France as a deputy comptroller overseeing labour, including the Chinese Labour Corps, and was a Lieutenant-colonel. From 1924 to 1949, he was Master of Balliol College, University of Oxford. In the 1918 'Spanish Influenza' pandemic, his eldest son Michael Lindsay caught flu, which left him permanently deaf in one ear (and so he was ineligible for wartime service with British forces).
