Biography
Lord Edward Herbert Gascoyne-Cecil (1867-1918) was a British soldier and colonial administrator in Egypt. His father was Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury, the Prime Minister.
He was aide de camp to Lord Kitchener in the Second Boer War. His book The Leisure of an Egyptian Official, published posthumously in 1921, gives a detailed account of his role and interactions with the Egyptian politicians in nominal control of the country.
