In 1917, Richard Pilcher, registrar and secretary of the Royal Institute of Chemistry, used the phrase, ‘the chemists’ war’ to describe the First World War [R. B. Pilcher, ‘Chemistry in Wartime’, The Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, 9 (1917), 4.]. Pitcher’s phrase was to prove prophetic in another way because the war would transform dramatically the working and organisation of the British chemical industry. With his background in mathematics, the legal profession and as an MP, John Fletcher Moulton (Baron Moulton of Bank; 1844–1921) was an unlikely person to play a crucial role in both the war effort and the post-war transformation, but the analytical ability and organisational skills developed from his patent court cases proved more important than scientific and technical knowledge.
