About the author

A. Stanley Blicq, also listed as Arthur Stanley Blicq, is known for Norman Ten Hundred: A Record of the 1st (Service) Bn. Royal Guernsey Light Infantry. The book is a historical account of the Royal Guernsey Light Infantry in the First World War and has remained the main work clearly associated with his name.

Available catalog and book records strongly connect him with Guernsey and with this memorial-style military history. The writing is remembered for its close attention to the battalion's experience and for helping preserve an important piece of Guernsey's wartime story.

Reliable biographical details about his life beyond this work are limited in the sources I could confirm here, so it is safest to remember him chiefly as the author of a lasting record of Guernsey service in World War I.
