Edwin Campion Vaughan, a son of Patrick William Vaughan and Lavinia Sowerby Campion and brother of Michael Vaughan, John Herbert Vaughan, Matthew Francis Vaughan, Bernard Vaughan, Marie W.C. Vaughan, Kathleen A. Vaughan, and Mildred Vaughan, was the husband of Margaret Frances (Southard) Vaughan and the father of four children.
He was educated at Saint Ignatius College, Stamford Hill, Hackney. During World War I, he served as a captain in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment in France and Italy. In 1918, he received the Military Cross (MC) for his gallantry in securing a bridge while under fire. He also received the British War Medal and Victory Medal.
Post-war, he transferred to the Essex Regiment. Soon afterward, however, he transferred to the Royal Air Force, became a pilot, and held the rank of Flight Lieutenant. He tragically died due to a doctor's error: instead of receiving Novocaine, he was accidentally given a lethal dose of cocaine.
He is the author of the posthumously published (1981 in the UK and 1988 in the US) and critically-acclaimed memoir 'Some Desperate Glory: The World War One Diary of a British Officer, 1917.'
