Thomas Dewar Weldon
Thomas Dewar Weldon (5 December 1896, Marylebone, London – 13 May 1958, Oxford), known as "Harry", was a British philosopher.
==Life==
Thomas Weldon was born at 3 Bryanston Mansions, York Street, Marylebone, London, in 1896. After an education at Tonbridge School, he won a scholarship to read ''literae humaniores'' at Magdalen College, Oxford, which he postponed to become an officer in the Royal Field Artillery in 1915. He spent World War I in France and Belgium, rising to acting captain, being wounded and winning the Military Cross and bar. He finally went up to Oxford in 1919, graduating with a first class degree in 1921. Weldon was elected a fellow and philosophy tutor at his college two years later, getting to know CS Lewis (Lewis described Weldon as quick to anger and cynical). He then served as Rhodes travelling fellow in 1930, a temporary civil servant in London from 1939 to 1942, and Personal Staff Officer to Arthur Harris in RAF Bomber Command at High Wycombe from 1942 to 1945. His final duties during World War II involved justifying Harris's controversial bombing strategy to politicians and the public. His death in 1958 was attributed by college rumour to suicide but was in fact due to a cerebral hemorrhage.〔Additional biographical information found in T.D. Weldon, ''The Vocabulary of Politics'' (Penguin, 1960)〕
