Sir John Evelyn Leslie Wrench KCMG (29 October 1882 – 11 November 1966) was a British author and journalist who was editor of The Spectator. He was the founder of the Royal Over-Seas League and the English-Speaking Union, both to foster international communication and education.[1] His initial gamble in the postcard business, due to the popularity of postcards, proved a great success. By the turn of the century, half of all the postcards sold in Paris came from his stores. He later became a prominent author on matters relating to the British Empire.
