He also rowed bow in winning four of the University College Prize Medal Four Oars.[1]

City Imperial Volunteers in 1900, after the outbreak of the Boer War.[1]

In South Africa, he served from 1900 to 1902 as Private in the CIV despatch cyclist section, much of the time under Lord Kitchener's personal orders.[1]

He was regimental chaplain to the

First World War and accompanied the regiment to Egypt but left in December 1916 to take up his civilian post as Archdeacon of Salop. He continued after the war from 1919,[1] and was awarded the Territorial Decoration in 1931.[3]

On 9 July 1907, he married Audrey Kathleen Loder (died 8 April 1942); they had three children.

Religious life

Lambart completed theological study in 1902 at

Cuddesdon Theological College near Oxford, and was ordained priest in 1903. He was Curate at St Dunstan's, Stepney, in east London from 1903 to 1908,[3] after which his life and ministry were spent in Shropshire
.

He was the Vicar of Holy Trinity, Leaton, near

St Mary's, Shrewsbury, from 1918 to 1925. He held the office of Archdeacon of Salop and Prebendary of Pipa Parva in Lichfield Cathedral from 1917 to 1946. He retired from full-time ministry in 1946 but was made Archdeacon Emeritus. He was also Provost of Denstone College from 1928 to 1948, with oversight over the Woodard Schools in the West Midlands.[2]
