Montagu Parker, 5th Earl of Morley

After the end of the war, he was from June 1902 Aide-de-camp to Major-General Laurence Oliphant, in Command of the Potchefstroom District,[2] returning home six months later in December 1902.

The expedition was launched after Valter Henrik Juvelius convinced a group of upper-class Englishmen that he had discovered secret cyphers in the Bible which detailed the location of the Ark and other Temple treasures.

One of the expedition members Cyril Foley wrote that Juvelius' ‘rendering of the Hebrew text denoted that the Ark of the Covenant could be found by working through underground passages from Gihon, which would lead us up to the mosque (of Omar)’.

He was mentioned in despatches and in 1918 was awarded the Croix de Guerre by the French when the XXII Corps helped stop and then reverse a German advance which was part of the Kaiserschlacht on key areas of the Champagne region.

He was unmarried and was succeeded in the earldom and other titles by his younger brother's son John St Aubyn Parker, 6th Earl of Morley.
