He was the son of Colonel Caledon Philip Grey Egerton[1] and Caroline Blanche, daughter of Rev. Reginald Southwell Smith. His father was commanding officer of 39th Regional District of the Raj, and a Colonel of the Dorset Regiment.
Sir Philip was a soldier commissioned into the Territorial Army of the Royal Artillery. He was with the Sudan Civil Service; and with the 3rd battalion of Shropshire Light Infantry won a 4th clasp of the Order of the Nile. In 1941 he was appointed High Sheriff of Cheshire. The 13th baronet, Rev Sir Brooke, who adopted the added surname Grey-Egerton, died childless, without an heir on 5 November 1945. As his nearest male relative, a second cousin, Sir Philip was the next in line.
