Edward Hugh John Neale Dalton, Baron Dalton PC, generally known as Hugh Dalton (1887-1962) was a British Labour Party politician, and Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1945 to 1947. During World War I, he was called up into the Army Service Corps, later transferring to the Royal Artillery. He served as a Lieutenant on the French and Italian Fronts and later wrote a memoir of the war called With British Guns in Italy: A Tribute to Italian Achievement (1919). Dalton stood unsuccessfully for Parliament four times before entering Parliament for Peckham at the 1924 general election. As with most other Labour MPs, he lost his seat in 1931, though he was re-elected in 1935. After the Labour victory in the 1945 general election, Dalton had been expected to become Foreign Secretary, but instead the job was given to Ernest Bevin.
