Career
Charles Breese was admitted as a solicitor in 1889 and, like Lloyd George, worked in the firm of Breese, Jones and Casson in Portmadoc, the practice founded by his father’s uncle David Williams, Liberal MP for Merioneth from 1868-69. Breese’s cousin Osmond Williams was also Liberal MP for Merioneth from 1900-1910. Breese served in the Volunteers and during the First World War, he fought in the European theatre, reaching the rank of Major. Like his father, he was deeply interested in antiquarianism, archaeology and heraldry. He was chairman of the executive committee of the Cambrian Archaeological Association and was one of its vice-presidents in 1930.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“My ambition in life: to become successful enough to resume my career as a neurasthenic.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
