A/Cpl Harry "Bluffer" Ide

British Army 11th (1st South Down) Battalion Sussex Regiment

from:Bognor Regis

(d.24th September 1917)

Harry "Bluffer" Ide was my father's grandfather, so my great grandfather. He died at the battle of Menin Ridge Road having been made acting corporal.

It is believed that he knew the poet Edmund Blunden, and that the "bluffer" referred to in the poem Pill Box is Harry Ide, although I cannot confirm this as fact.

I have an image of Harry that I will send via email.
