1886 Oswald Cawley

Oswald took over at Prestwich when his father Frederick was elevated to the peerage. The by-election was contested by Henry May for the Co-Operative Party but he was trounced.
Oswald was educated at Rugby and Oxford.
Oswald served as a captain in the King's Shropshire Light Infantry and was killed in action in France in August 1918 aged 35. He never got to speak in the Commons. He was the third of Frederick Cawley's sons to die in the war.
