Summary/Abstract: The Hon. Aubrey Herbert M.P (1880-1923) was the second son of the Fourth Earl of Carnavon by his second marriage and was the half-brother of George Herbert, the Fifth Earl of Carnarvon who discovered the famed tomb of Tutankhamun in Egypt. He was educated at Eton and Balliol College in Oxford. In 1922 when he was only twenty-two years old, he was appointed honorary attaché at the British Embassy in Tokyo, and in 1904 he was transferred to Constantinople where he worked for the embassy until the outbreak of war in 1914. Over these years Herbert travelled much in Albania and Macedonia, where he made friends with many leading personalities especially among the Albanians.
