Sir Bernard Mallet, the son of Sir Lewis, served first
in the Foreign Office, then in the Treasury, next in the Board of Inland Revenue, and finally in the office of Registrar-General. It is pleasant to think that Mr. Victor Mallet, Sir Bernard Mallet's eldest son, after his time of war service, was one of the soldiers who entered the Foreign Office under special conditions. We can only say that we trust that the chain of public service will be maintained in the next and succeeding generations. Sir Lewis du Pan Mallet, Sir Bernard Mallet's brother, was Ambassador at Constantinople in 19i4. In the time to come our Civil servants may not be as sheltered as they have been, and will be exposed to great temptations from many irides. At such times it will be a great inspiration to duty to belong to those who can say, "How would my father or my grandfather have acted in a case hie this 7 I must not shame them."
