Arthur Paul John James Charles Gore, 7th Earl of Arran (31 July 1903 – 28 December 1958), styled Viscount Sudley until shortly before his death, was an Anglo-Irish peer, author and translator.
Commissioned as a lieutenant in the Essex Regiment, he served as aide-de-camp (1931–32) to George Villiers, 6th Earl of Clarendon, Governor-General of the Union of South Africa.
[4][5] Following his death, a schoolmate eulogised him in The Times: At Winchester "Pauly" was an intelligent, graceful, retiring boy with a delicious sense of humour.
At this time he taught himself to play the piano and he would sing for hours in his wistful Melville Gideon voice, to himself or to anyone who happened to be in the room.
Pauly's great, and rare, gift was his originality: long after most men have become conditioned and conventionalised he continued to view the world with his own particular vision, which contained an extraordinary mixture of sophistication and innocence.
