Arnold Allan Cecil Keppel, 8th Earl of Albemarle, GCVO, CB, VD, TD, JP (1 June 1858 – 12 April 1942), styled Viscount Bury from 1891 to 1894, was a British soldier, courtier and Conservative politician.

[1][3][4][5][6] In 1892 he took over his father's position as Lieutenant-Colonel of the 12th Middlesex (Civil Service) Rifle Volunteer Corps, retaining the command until 1901.

[1][3] After the outbreak of the Second Boer War in October 1899, a corps of imperial volunteers from London was formed in late December 1899.

Lord Albemarle was appointed in charge of the infantry division of the CIV on 3 January 1900, with the temporary rank of lieutenant-colonel in the Army,[7] and served as such until the corps was disbanded.

He is credited with sculpting the statue of the two drummer boys from Rudyard Kipling's story The Drums of the Fore and Aft that now stands in Woodbridge, Suffolk.
