Edgar Dugdale
He gained the rank of captain in the Leicestershire Yeomanry and held the office of Justice of the Peace.The first English translation of Mein Kampf was an abridgment by Edgar Dugdale, who began work on it in 1931, at the prompting of his wife Blanche.[2] No official reason was given for Dugdale's request for anonymity in the British edition, but his wife was a prominent Zionist, and the niece of Arthur Balfour, and they wished to avoid publicity.[3] In 1934, Dugdale published a biography of the British diplomat Maurice de Bunsen, who had died two years earlier.Dugdale married on 18 November 1902, at St Mary Abbots church, Kensington, to Blanche Elizabeth Campbell Balfour (1880–1948), the eldest daughter of Eustace James Anthony Balfour (1854–1911), an architect and the youngest brother of the prime minister Arthur Balfour, and his wife, Lady Frances Campbell (1858–1931), daughter of George Campbell, 8th Duke of Argyll.
