Fenwick Bulmer de Sales La Terriere (1856–1925) was a Colonel of the British Army, Knight of the Order of the Medjidie,[1] a member of the French nobility,[2] and an author.
[1] He joined the army, serving in the 5th Battalion Royal Fusiliers, and later as Captain of the 18th Hussars.
[6][7] In 1924, de Sales La Terriere's autobiography, Days that Are Gone, being the Recollections of some Seventy Years of the Life of a very ordinary Gentleman and his Friends in Three Reigns was published.
[8][9] The autobiography received favourable reviews in The Times shortly after its publication.
[10] De Sales La Terriere was a luminary of fashionable society at the time, although the Oscholars Library called his opinions of Oscar Wilde "conservative and rather naïve"[4]
