Biography
Lord Dungarvon was a Deputy Lieutenant of Somerset, and Grand Master of the Freemasons of Somerset from 1891.
He was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of the North Somerset Yeomanry in 1893, and served in the Second Boer War, 1900–1902, as commander of the 22nd Battalion, Imperial Yeomanry. He resigned his commission 15 January 1902, when he was granted the honorary rank of Major in the Army.[1] Later the same month he returned to the United Kingdom on board the SS Saxon,[2] and became Lieutenant-colonel on the Establishment of the North Somerset Imperial Yeomanry.[3]
He succeeded to the Earldom upon the death of his father, Richard Boyle, 9th Earl of Cork on 22 June 1904.
Lord Cork married, 21 November 1918, Mrs Rosalie Gray (d. 15 March 1930), daughter of William Waterman de Villiers, of Romsey, Hampshire, but had no issue. The earldom passed to his brother, the 11th Earl.
