8x12 inch letter with typed content signed by Lord Langford

Colonel Geoffrey Alexander Rowley-Conwy, 9th Baron Langford, OBE, DL (8 March 1912 – 12 November 2017) was a British-Irish peer and British Army officer. He is the longest-lived peer on record.

The only son of two children born to Major Geoffrey Seymour Rowley-Conwy (1877 – 10 August 1915), who was killed in action at Gallipoli, and Bertha Gabrielle Cochran, JP (1880–1984), Langford was educated at Marlborough College and Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. Commissioned a second lieutenant in the Royal Artillery on 1 September 1932, he was promoted to lieutenant on 1 September 1935 and to captain on 1 September 1940.

He served as an army officer with the Royal Artillery in World War II, being captured at the Japanese taking of Singapore in 1942, but escaping, before seeing further active service in Burma. In May 1943, by then a temporary major, he was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE), for distinguished service in the South-West Pacific theatre. He reached the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in 1945, and was promoted to the substantive rank of major on 1 July 1946. On 1 April 1954, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel and retired from the regular army on 31 December 1957. He was appointed an Honorary Colonel in 1967
