Reginald Bridgeman

Reginald Francis Orlando Bridgeman, CMG, MVO (14 October 1884 – 11 December 1968) was a British diplomat.

The oldest son of Brigadier Francis Charles Bridgeman and Gertude Cecilia Hanbury, and grandson of the 3rd Earl of Bradford, he was educated in Harrow School, London, England. Bridgeman worked as secretary in the Chinese Information Bureau. In 1927, he was head of the British delegation sent by the House of Commons to the League Against Imperialism (LAI) in Brussels and became its secretary in 1933. For Labour, he contested Uxbridge in the 1929 general election, but was expelled from the party short time after, because of his membership in the LAI.

In 1914, Bridgeman was made a Member of the Royal Victorian Order and 1917 a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George. On 4 June 1923, he married Olwen Elizabeth Jones, daughter of Maurice Jones. They had four children, two sons and two daughters.
