Henry Campbell-Bannerman

Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, born September 7, 1836, in Glasgow, and died April 22, 1908, served as Liberal Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from December 1905 to April 1908, leading the party to a landslide victory in the 1906 general election. His government granted self-government to the former Boer republics of the Transvaal and the Orange River Colony, helping secure their loyalty to the British Empire after the South African War. His cabinet included three future prime ministers, Asquith, Lloyd George and Churchill. Weakened by a series of heart attacks, he resigned days before his death and died at 10 Downing Street, the only prime minister to do so.
