married one Emily Ann Burrows of Knightsbridge.
Maundy Gregory then introduced Emily Ann to the

was at Zaharoff's mercy. Although Zaharoff was closely
associated with Lloyd George throughout World War I
until 1922, when their association effectively ended Lloyd
George's political career, the name Zaharoff appears
nowhere in Lloyd George's extensive Memoirs. Lloyd
George's political career came to an end after Zaharoff
persuaded him to help the Greeks against Turkey in
1920, a disastrous adventure which brought about Lloyd
George's downfall from political power. George Donald
McCormick, in "The Mask of Merlin", the definitive work
on Lloyd George, states:
"Zaharoff kept him (Lloyd George) closely informed on the Balkans. During
the war, Zaharoff was sent on various secret missions by Lloyd George. The
Big Three, Wilson, Lloyd George and Clemenceau, met in Zaharoff's home in
Paris. On one occasion, Zaharoff went to Germany (in 1917) on Lloyd
George's personal instructions, disguised in the uniform of a Bulgarian Army
doctor. Clemenceau later said, 'The information which Zaharoff secured in
Germany for Lloyd George was the most important piece of intelligence of
the whole war.'"
Zaharoff was awarded the Order of British Empire in
1918 for this mission. McCormick also notes, "Zaharoff
had interests in Briey furnaces of the Comite des Forges.
