Air Chief Marshal Sir Henry Robert Moore Brooke-Popham〔Brooke-Popham's surname at birth was Brooke.

During the First World War he served in the Royal Flying Corps as a wing commander and senior staff officer. Remaining in the new Royal Air Force (RAF) after the war, Brooke-Popham was the first commandant of its Staff College at Andover and later held high command in the Middle East. He was Governor of Kenya in the late 1930s. Most notably, Brooke-Popham was Commander-in-Chief of the British Far East Command only months before Singapore fell to Japanese troops.
==Family life and education==
Brooke-Popham was born in England in the Suffolk village of Mendlesham on 18 September 1878. His parents were Henry Brooke, a country gentleman of Wetheringsett Manor in Suffolk, and his wife Dulcibella who was the daughter of Robert Moore, a clergyman.
Brooke-Popham's education was not atypical of a man entering the British officer class. After his school years at Haileybury and his officer training at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, he was commissioned into the British Army in 1898.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =Air of Authority - A History of RAF Organisation )〕 In January 1926, Brooke-Popham married Opal Mary, the daughter of Edgar Hugonin.
