It was created on 29 January 1946 for Field Marshal Alan Brooke, 1st Baron Alanbrooke.^[1] He had already been created Baron Alanbrooke, of Brookeborough in the County of Fermanagh, on 18 September 1945, also in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.^[2] Brooke was the sixth son of Sir Victor Brooke, 3rd Baronet, and the uncle of Sir Basil Brooke, 5th Bt.
