General Louis Vaughan

[Northern Soul]

Can anyone supply any information on the career of General Louis Ridley Vaughan? All I have been able to find out is that he was on Byng's staff late in the war. If anyone could direct me to a photo that would be useful too.

Several members of his family served in the war and I would be interested in any information about them too, especially his brother Percy Cecil Vaughan, killed at Ypres in 1917, who was a London solicitor pre-war.

Cheers.

Andy.
