British Peerage Altered by War Casualties
London August 30 The British army casualty lists have caused hundreds of changes in the peerage after a little over a year of war. Many heirs of great titles have fallen and in many cases the next heir is in the trenches. Some titles will become extinct due to the death of the sole legal heir. The law of succession limits titles to direct male descendants, prompting questions of reform to prevent titles passing to distant relatives. Daughters have no claim except by royal act as in the case of Lord Roberts.
