Baron Birdwood
Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English Template:Infobox nobility title
Baron Birdwood, of Anzac and of Totnes in the County of Devon, was a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 25 January 1938 for Sir William Birdwood, 1st Baronet.[1] He is chiefly remembered as the commander of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) during the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915. Birdwood had already been created a Baronet, of Anzac and Totnes, on 29 December 1919.[2]
The first two barons had only one son each. Upon the death of the 3rd Baron without male issue in 2015, the barony and baronetcy became extinct.[3]
The right-wing political activist Jane Birdwood, Baroness Birdwood, was the second wife of the second Baron.
