Catalogue Note
David Lloyd George (1863-1945) became Prime Minister of a coalition government in December 1916, following the resignation of Herbert Asquith. Lloyd George soon made it clear that he had no faith in his war generals, going to great lengths in 1917 to try to reduce their power. In the same year Lloyd George formed the Imperial War Cabinet with the leaders of the British dominions. It was at one of these meetings that Lloyd George launched the Passchendaele Offensive in the Autumn of 1917.
