Thomas Denman, 3rd Baron Denman
Thomas Denman, 3rd Baron Denman (16 November 187424 June 1954) was a British Liberal politician and the fifth Governor-General of Australia.
==Early years==
Born in London, Denman was the son of Richard Denman, a court clerk and Helen Mary McMicking. Thomas Denman, 1st Baron Denman, Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, was his great-grandfather.
He was educated at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, intending a military career, but in 1894 unexpectedly inherited a peerage from his great-uncle and was able to take his seat in the House of Lords on his 21st birthday the following year. He continued his military career in the Royal Scots, where he was promoted to lieutenant on 4 March 1896, but resigned in May 1899 and was placed in the Reserve. Returning to the army on the outbreak of the Second Boer War, Lord Denman was on 3 February 1900 commissioned as a lieutenant of the 11th Battalion, Imperial Yeomanry. He was promoted to captain in the battalion on 18 July 1900, and the following year was appointed a captain in the Middlesex (Duke of Cambridge´s Hussars) Imperial Yeomanry, followed by a promotion to major on 30 April 1902.
Lord Denman had little money until 1903, when he married Gertrude Pearson, daughter of the wealthy industrialist Weetman Pearson (later first Viscount Cowdray). Denman was then able to devote his time to public life and served in the Liberal administrations of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman and H. H. Asquith as a Lord-in-Waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) from 1905 to 1907 and as Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms (government chief whip in the House of Lords) between 1907 and 1911. He was admitted to the Privy Council in 1907. The Colonial Secretary offered Denman the post of Governor-General of Australia to get him out of domestic politics.
