What is the "Internal Revenue Department of HM Treasury"? "Internal Revenue" - for example, the IRS - is an American thing.
I believe Ward's father was a clerk with the Inland Revenue (see the London Gazette for 2 May 1911, Issue 28490, page 3340). As Ward's memoirs indicate, his father worked at Somerset House, where the Inland Revenue were based for many years, and his office was evacated to North Wales (Llandudno, I believe) during the Second World War.
Secondly, Ward's father may have worked for HM Treasury as some point, but the Inland Revenue is not part of the Treasury. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.72.96.20 (talk) 13:35, 13 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
- Ward says: "I was born in East Ham, London, son of Joseph William Ward, minor civil servant employed in the Internal Revenue Department of H. M. Treasury" I have corrected the article. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:13, 13 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
