Norman Coates
Lieutenant-Colonel Norman Coates M.C. (27 April 1890 – 21 March 1966) was a British army officer, School Head Master, and briefly a Conservative politician. First employed as a trainee accountant, he was given a commission when he enlisted in the first month of the First World War. He was wounded in action at Gallipoli and then served in senior staff officer roles. In civilian life he established a public school for the sons of Army Officers, and was elected to Parliament but lived well beyond his means and was made bankrupt – disclosing his highly dubious financial practices. He rebuilt his life again in the world of private education.
Volunteering for service again in the Second World War, he was given an appointment organising Prisoner of War camps at the War Office where he ruffled feathers with other departments but played his role in ensuring the safety and survival of Rudolf Hess. He was dismissed as part of a major clear-out of his Directorate and subsequently convicted of a criminal offence; his disgrace meant that he disappeared from public life.
==Accountancy training==
Coates was the son of Thomas Coates, a master builder who was an Alderman and Justice of the Peace in Durham;〔"Coates, Norman" in "Who's Who" 1942, p. 605.〕 he was educated at Durham School and at King's College, Durham.〔"Debrett's House of Commons and Judicial Bench 1923", p. 30.〕 He was employed as a clerk for the County Accountant for County Durham; Coates was employed with a view to taking articles although he did not do so. After two or three years at Durham he moved to Truro where he worked in the office of the County Accountant for Cornwall on the accounts of the Education department for a year before moving to a similar appointment at Cardiff earning £140 annually.〔"The Affairs of a Former M.P.", ''Maidenhead Advertiser'', 23 July 1924, p. 3.〕
