 Robert Stewart Londonderry - LoveToKnow 1911
ROBERT STEWART LONDONDERRY, 2ND Marquess Of (1769-1822), British statesman, was the eldest son of Robert Stewart of Ballylawn Castle, in Donegal, and Mount Stewart in Down, an Ulster landowner, of kin to the Galloway Stewarts, who became baron, viscount, earl and marquess in the peerage of Ireland.

Sir Robert maintained that he had been pressing for a paper to be published throughout the winter of 1934/5, however Baldwin “still felt unable to risk a landslide on arms”.
Vansittart did not believe, however, that Britain’s problems could be solved on a bilateral basis, for the interdependence of events in every region of the globe militated against bilateral solutions.
Vansittart was, as far as is known to date, the earliest individual of high rank in the government or civil service to see through the Nazis and was quite consistent in his position that Britain should follow a policy of firmness with Hitler.
