Clement Attlee - Early Political Career
During the war Atlee served in Gallipoli and Mesopotamia , where he was badly wounded at El Hanna. He recovered back in England, and was sent to France in 1918 and served on the Western Front for the last few months of the war. By the end of the First World War he had reached the rank of major. After the war, he returned to teaching at the London School of Economics and became involved in local politics, becoming mayor of the London borough of Stepney in 1919. At the 1922 general election Atlee became the MP for the constituency of Limehouse in Stepney. He was Ramsay MacDonald's parliamentary private secretary for the brief 1922 parliament.
Attlee served in the first two Labour governments, as under-secretary of state for war in 1924 with Ramsay MacDonald, then as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and later Postmaster General in the 1929 to 1931 MacDonald government. He actively supported the General Strike. In 1928 he reluctantly joined the Simon Commission, a royal commission on India. As a result of the time he had to devote to this, he was not initially offered a ministerial post in the Second Labour Government.
