My dear father Edward Warren Caulfeild (0204) was born on 13 February 1880. He was educated at Monkton Combe School, Bath, and at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, from which he was commissioned into the Royal Engineers in November 1899. He retired from the Army as a most distinguished Lieutenant-Colonel in March 1930, with a DSO, MC and Croix de Guerre. After retirement, he continued a vocation as an author which he had already begun, and wrote a series of military histories, mainly about military engineering in India, for which he was awarded the OBE. In 1939 he returned to military employment for much of World War II. On 19 August 1919 he married my mother Sylvia Mary, daughter of the late Henry Francis Sneyd-Kynnersley, by whom he had two children, myself and my sister Penelope. He died at Weymouth on 23 February 1973. A short biography is at Appendix 1 to this Annexure, and many further details of his most interesting life may be found in his ‘Sandes Family History’.
