John Rolls, 2nd Baron Llangattock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Maclean Rolls, 2nd Baron Llangattock (25 April 1870 – 31 October 1916) was a British barrister and army Major. Son of John Rolls, 1st Baron Llangattock, he was born in London and educated at Eton.
He was a Barrister of the Inner Temple, London, appointed Sheriff of Montgomeryshire in 1900 and was a Major in the 4th Welsh Brigade, R.F.A.
He died 31 October 1916 at Boulogne, France of wounds received at the Battle of the Somme.
Baron Llangattock bequeathed £100,000 to the Archdeaconry of Monmouth. He never married - his younger brother Henry Allan Rolls, who was heir presumptive, had died four months previously. His youngest brother, Charles Rolls of Rolls Royce fame had died 6 years earlier. Thus the title became extinct.
