He was a cousin to the war poet Seigfried Sassoon and was a member of the prominent Rothschild family. His numerous social and political connections led to his attendance at Chateau De- mont in December of 1914, where King George V, Edward Prince of Wales, Raymond Poincaré, the French President, and various allied Generals met to discuss war on Ger- many. When war was declared he served as Private Secretary to Field Marshal Haig for the duration of the war. Sir Philip also acted as Member of Parliament for Hythe and was Parliamentary Private Secretary to David Lloyd George in 1920. He twice served as Under-Secretary of State for Air (1924-1929 and 1931-1937), during which time he was also Chairman of the Trustees of the National Gallery. He then held the position of First Commissioner of Works until his death in 1939.
