1915 Wigtownshire by-election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
UK Parliamentary by-election
The Wigtownshire by-election of 1915 was held on 12 February 1915. The by-election was held due to the incumbent Conservative MP, John Dalrymple, succeeded as the 12th Earl of Stair. It was won by his uncle, the Conservative candidate Hew Hamilton Dalrymple,[1] who was unopposed.
At the time of the election, John Dalrymple was a prisoner of war in Germany, having been captured by the Germans during the Great Retreat in 1914. He remained a prisoner until 1917 when he was repatriated for medical reasons, due to degradation in his eyesight.[2]
