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][3], and an author.
He was born at Alstone Lawn in Gloucestershire[4], educated at Eton College, Magdalen College, Oxford[5] and at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst[2]. He was descended from the French aristocracy, namely the Compte de Sales de Saint Salvy[1]. He was a great grandson of Pierre de Sales Laterrière[6]
From 1902, he was an Exon of the King's Body Guard of the Yeomen of the Guard.[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"[5]
