C. E. (Charles Edward) Wurtzburg

Born on June 5, 1891, Charles Edward Wurtzburg was a British businessman and writer. Reference sources describe him as both a businessman and biographer, and record that he served as Managing Director of the Glen Line from 1937 and as Chairman of McGregor, Gow & Holland Ltd from the same year.

Alongside his business career, he wrote history. His early known work was The History of the 2/6th (Rifle) Battalion, "The King's" (Liverpool Regiment) 1914–1919, a World War I regimental history first published in 1920. He is best remembered for Raffles of the Eastern Isles, a substantial biography of Stamford Raffles published in 1954.

Archive records at Cambridge note that he gathered transcripts from books, articles, letters, and other primary sources while researching Raffles, suggesting a careful, document-based approach to his work. He died on April 30, 1952, leaving behind a small but serious body of historical writing.
