About the author
Frank Scudamore (1859–1939), also listed as Francis Scudamore, was known as a war correspondent for The Times and The Daily News. Contemporary library and reference records also connect him with A Sheaf of Memories, published in 1925, a memoir that presents him as a widely travelled journalist looking back on a long career.
He is also associated with The Great War of 189-, a late nineteenth-century speculative war book written with several other military and journalistic figures. That link suggests the range of his interests: not only reporting on conflict as it happened, but also helping readers imagine how future wars might unfold.
Although detailed biographical information is limited in the sources I could confirm, the outline is clear: Scudamore belonged to the generation of British reporters who made war correspondence a vivid public form, and later drew on that experience in memoir writing.
