Philip Dalbiac

Philip Hugh Dalbiac CB TD (20 September 1856 – 28 April 1927) was a British army officer, publisher, author and Conservative Party politician.

A general election was duly called, and Dalbiac was chosen by the Conservatives to contest the constituency of Camberwell North, which was held the Liberal Party member of parliament, Edward Hodson Bayley.

[8] A third candidate, Nelson Palmer, subsequently entered the contest, claiming to be of "independent of party", but representing the labouring classes.

When the volunteers were reorganised as the Territorial Force in 1908, Dalbiac was given command of the 2nd London Divisional Transport and Supply Column, with the honorary rank of colonel.

[13][14] Dalbiac resigned his commission in 1912,[15] but with the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 returned to the army,[16] and was given the task of forming a second line duplicate of the supply column for the newly raised 60th Division.
