Baron Stamp

Baron Stamp is a peerage title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom that was created in 1938. The second Baron Stamp, Wilfred Carlyle Stamp, holds the record for having held a peerage for the shortest length of time. On 16 April, 1941, the first Baron Stamp was killed by a German bomb, as was his son Wilfred. Legally, the son was presumed to have died a fraction of a second after his father, and therefore is supposed to have succeeded to the title for that short amount of time.
