Newspaper cutting - Viscount Called up on his 21st Birthday

News cutting from British tabloid The Daily Sketch showing photographs taken by the paper at the presentation of a rose bowl to Vernon St.John, 6th Viscount Bolingbroke by the Lydiard Park estate tenants on his coming of age on March 15th 1917.

The interest of a national paper was linked both to the fact Vernon received his army call-up papers on the eve of his birthday but also the allure of his 'romantic birth' which is recounted in the news section of the paper.
