    His father NC Tufnell only gets a few mentions in Ponsonby for WW1.
    Joins 3rd Bn in Dec 1917 as a Captain .
    (Where was he for the rest of the war?)
    Listed as OC No 3 Company 3 GG from Jan 1918.
    No further mentions until August 1918 still OC No. 3 Coy.
    21st August they attack in thick fog, with No. 3 Coy on the right.
    "A little later Captain Tufnell and Captain Hurst report that Nos. 9 & 12 Platoons of No. 3 Company and all of No. 4 Company were near Moyblain Trench, having completely lost their way."
    He gets no other mentions , no reason for leaving the Bn , no wounds, no awards.
