Bernard Mordaunt Ward
Bernard Mordaunt Ward (20 January 1893 – 12 October 1945) was a British author and third-generation soldier most noted for his support of the Oxfordian theory of Shakespeare authorship and writing the first documentary biography of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford.
==Biography==
He was born in Madras, India into a military family, the son of Bernard Rowland Ward (16 January 1863—30 April 1933) and Jeanie Duffield (d. 11 Apr 1925).〔Mosley, Charles, ed. (''Burke's Peerage and Baronetage, 106th edition, 2 volumes (Crans, Switzerland: Burke's Peerage (Genealogical Books) Ltd, 1999), vol. I, p. 180. ) Accessed 18 November 2011.〕 At age 18 he entered the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, as a cadet and in 1912 was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant into the 1st King's Dragoon Guards. He was promoted to first lieutenant at the beginning of the First World War and attained the rank of captain a month before the war ended. He retired in 1927 as a member of the reserves, which he resigned in 1939 due to ill health.〔(''My Sussex Family Tree''. ) Accessed 18 November 2011.〕 He was usually addressed as Captain B. M. Ward for the rest of his life. He never married and died 12 October 1945 at age 52.
From 1900 Ward's father was an instructor at the Royal Military College, as well as a respected author on military engineering. He became interested in the Shakespeare authorship question and was the main organizer of the original Shakespeare Fellowship. He was a groupist, with Sir Francis Bacon as the chief editor and organizer,〔Ward, Colonel Bernard Rowland, signed autograph letter, 23 March 1923 ("Guide to the Papers of John Cuming Walters", Y.d.1417 (51) ), Folger Shakespeare Library, accessed 19 November 2011.〕 and published several articles and a book about the Shakespeare authorship question.〔Ward, B. R. "'Mr. WH' and 'Our Ever-Living Poet', ''The National Review'', lxxx (1922), pp. 81-93.; "Edward de Vere and William Shakespere," ''The National Review'', LXXX (1922). pp. 266-276; ''Shakespeare's sonnets, a suggested interpretation,'' (1923), pamphlet, 16 pgs.; ''The Mystery of "Mr. W. H."'' London: Cecil Palmer (1923).〕 Ward followed his father in his anti-Stratfordian interests, but favoured Oxford as the true author, influenced by J. Thomas Looney's ''"Shakespeare" Identified in Edward De Vere, the seventeenth earl of Oxford'' (1920).
Ward also became Chairman of the Abbotsholme Association, an organization to promote the Abbotsholme School, a private boarding and day school in Rocester in Staffordshire, and in 1934 he wrote a book about the founder, Dr Cecil Reddie, as a way to support him in a dispute over control of the school.〔Searby, Peter. "The New School and the New Life: Cecil Reddie (1858‐1932) and the early years of Abbotsholme School" in ''History of Education'' 18: 1 (1989).〕
