Oliver Locker-Lampson

To supplement Stuart McLaren’s excellent talk today here are EDP and BBC articles about Locker- Lampson and Einstein.  I didn’t realise that Locker-Lampson instigated the Cromer Carnival.  There is some more information of the armoured car division he financed in the First World War.  I also didn’t realise that Locker-Lampson and two secretaries were responsible for protecting Einstein during his stay!  It appears they even got Einstein a butler and cook to serve him food, a wind-up gramophone, a piano, a violin and there was even a flock of goats to provide him with goat's milk!  Please select the following links to answer these questions and to find out more:
