Appendix: 

A Tentative Roster of 

the Milner Group 

THE FOLLOWING LISTS are tentative in the sense that they are in￾complete and erroneous. The errors are more likely in the attribution 

of persons to one circle of the Group rather than another, and are less 

likely in the attribution to the Group of persons who are not members 

at all. For the names given I have sufficient evidence to convince me 

that they are members of the Group, although I would not in many 

cases feel competent to insist that the persons concerned knew that they 

were members of a secret group. The evidence on which this list is 

based is derived from documentary evidence, from private informa￾tion, and from circumstantial evidence. 

Persons are listed in each group on the basis of general impression 

rather than exact demarcation, because the distinction between the 

two is rather vague and varies from time to time. For example, I know 

for a fact that Sir Alfred Zimmern and Lord Cecil of Chelwood at￾tended meetings of the inner circle in the period before 1920, but I 

have attributed them to the outer circle because this appears to be the 

more accurate designation for the long period since 1920 .. 

Within each list I have placed the names of the various individuals in 

order of chronology and of importance. In some cases where I sus￾pected a person of being a member without having any very convincing 

evidence, I have enclosed the name in brackets.
