EDWARD ALOYSIUS DE TRAFFORD
1892- 1960
THE late Captain de Trafford was born on January 13. 1892 and died on January 7 last. He was elected to the Alpine Club in 1931. It is unfortunate that very little seems to be known of him, even those who supported his candidature having the barest recollections of him. He would appear to have lived abroad a great deal and it is not known if he ever attended a function at the Club.
His qualifying list of climbs on joining the A. C. shows a long list of ascents in 1926 and 1927 in the Dolomites; in 1929 he was among the Chamonix aiguilles and in 1930, in addition to two winter ascents in January from Zermatt, he had a good season, in early June, in the Oberland. In January 1931 he was again climbing from Zermatt and from then on there is a blank. During the first war he served with the 3rd Battalion of the South Staffordshire Regt. and won the M. C.
