Christopher Salkeld Hurst, C.B., O.B.E., was born in 1886 and was educated at Uppingham and at Exeter College, Oxford. Gaining a degree in law in 1909, he became a barrister at the Inner Temple but in 1911 he took up an appointment in the Public Trustee Office. Soon after the outbreak of hostilities, however, he transferred to the Ministry of Munitions, a wartime post that he held until 1919 and which resulted in him being awarded the O.B.E. and Belgian Order of the Crown. Hurst became Secretary of the Royal Commission on Coal in 1925, in which field he remained for the remainder of his career, a C.B. being gazetted in 1929. He was latterly, between 1938-47, Secretary and Controller of the Coal Commission and died in 1963.
