Edward Henry Harold Ward, 7th Viscount Bangor (5 November 1905 – 8 May 1993), was an Anglo-Irish peer, journalist, war correspondent, and author.
The son of Maxwell Ward, 6th Viscount Bangor, by his marriage to Agnes Elizabeth Hamilton, third daughter of Dacre Hamilton, of Cornacassa, County Monaghan,[1] Ward was educated first at Wixenford,[2] then, like his father, at Harrow and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich.
On 12 March 1940, Ward delivered a sensational international scoop, when BBC radio news carried his story of a ceasefire agreed between the Soviet Union and Finland, a day before it was formally announced.
On 31 March 1945, he was among those liberated by American forces from Oflag XII-B, a camp for officers near Limburg an der Lahn.
At the time of his death on 8 May 1993, Lord Bangor's address was 59, Cadogan Square, London SW1; and he was a member of the Savile and Garrick clubs.
