Brigadier-General Edgar William Cox was a senior intelligence officer on the British General Staff throughout most of the First World War. He drowned in suspicious circumstances whilst swimming in August 1918 shortly after the German successes in the Spring Offensive, which drove the allied armies back a large distance. Although officially an accident, suspicions of suicide surrounded his death.
