Biography contributed by Geoffrey Gillon

He was 31 and the son of William and Ellen Blunden, of Burnham Cottage, Dairy Lane, Walberton, Sussex, England.

Slindon is a mostly rural village and civil parish in the Arun District of West Sussex, England, containing a developed nucleus amid woodland. Much of Slindon's woodland belongs to the National Trust on the southern edge of the escarpment of the South Downs National Park. Slindon is centred 6 miles (9.7 km) north-east of Chichester.

He is remembered on the Slindon War Memorial.
