Hi, I found this the other day amongst a pile of postcards

Back stamp reads:

Printed ink reads:

I was wondering if anyone can recognise who's it it ?

Many thanks

Hello there, 

I take it you are referring to the Gentleman in civilian clothes, if so my guess would be David Margesson, Secretary of State for War 1940 to 42.
