Colonel Ulric Oliver Thynne CMG, DSO, CVO (6 July 1871 – 30 September 1957)[1][2] was a distinguished British soldier and champion polo player.
Lord Henry Frederick Thynne and Lady Ulrica Frederica Jane St. Maur Seymour.
[1] Thynne gained the rank of lieutenant in the service of the King's Royal Rifle Corps,[1] and fought in the Chitral Campaign in 1895.
[1] He was appointed a lieutenant in the Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry on 10 February 1900,[3] and fought with the Imperial Yeomanry during the Second Boer War in South Africa, where he was mentioned in despatches,[1] and for which he was appointed a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) in November 1900.
In 1924, Thynne claimed the ancient Barony of Beauchamp from the House of Lords; the Committee for Privileges rejected the claim, holding that the evidence was insufficient to prove that the peerage was in fact created.
