Baron Moyne of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk
The London Gazette 33793. Whitehall, January 28, 1932. The KING has been pleased, by Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm, bearing date the 21st instant, to confer the dignity of a Baron of the United Kingdom upon the Right Honourable Walter Edward Guinness [aged 51], D.S.O., and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, by the name, style and title of Baron Moyne of Bury St. Edmunds in the County of Suffolk. [Evelyn Erskine Baroness Moyne [aged 49] by marriage Baroness Moyne of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk.]
On 6th November 1944 Walter Guiness 1st Baron Moyne [aged 64] was assassinated. Eliyahu Bet-Zuri and Eliyahu Hakim of the Jewish terrorist group Lehi waited for Moyne near his home in Cairo. Moyne arrived in his car with his driver, Lance Corporal Arthur Fuller, his secretary, Dorothy Osmond, and his ADC, Major Andrew Hughes-Onslow. The ADC went to open the front door of the residence and the driver got out to open the door for Moyne. They were suddenly told not to move, as Bet-Zuri emerged and shot Fuller in the chest, causing him to collapse in the driveway and bleed to death in minutes. Hakim then pulled the car door open and fatally shot Moyne three times. His son Bryan [aged 39] succeeded 2nd Baron Moyne of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk.
