Sir James Hutchison, 1st Baronet
Sir James Riley Holt Hutchison, 1st Baronet, DSO, TD, JP (10 April 1893 – 24 February 1979) was a British army officer, company director and politician. He was the son of a Scottish shipowner and spent his commercial life in the same field and as a director of shipbuilders, but fought in both World Wars during a long military career. He distinguished himself as the principal British liaison officer with the French Resistance during the Second World War in which he needed plastic surgery to disguise his appearance from the Germans; he was nicknamed the "Pimpernel of the Maquis". At the end of the Second World War he was elected as a Unionist Member of Parliament in Glasgow, and although the city was turning against his party he enjoyed a 14-year Parliamentary career.
==First World War service==
Hutchison's father, Thomas Holt Hutchison, was a shipowner and Glasgow magistrate〔"Quickening Pace In Glasgow", ''The Times'', 21 June 1945, p. 4.〕 who had a love of the sea and the shipping business; he was to pass on the same attitudes to his son.〔"Sir James Hutchison" (Obituary), ''The Times'', 19 November 1979, p. 26.〕 He was sent to Stanmore Park Preparatory School〔"The Times House of Commons, 1951", p. 191.〕 followed by Harrow School for his education, followed by some study in France,〔"Who Was Who", A & C Black.〕 before joining the family firm at the age of 19 in 1912. He was still learning the trade when the outbreak of the First World War led him to enlist in the Lanarkshire Yeomanry. Hutchison later transferred to the 17th Cavalry of the Indian Army, and served throughout the war.〔 Hutchison kept up his connections with the Lanarkshire Yeomanry and three decades later was appointed as the regiment's Honorary Colonel.〔
