His magnificent bravery at Ypres, and in the early days of November, near Gheluvelt, did not happen to be officially recognised, but was known and appreciated by his brother officers.... Major Bucknill will long be remembered by those who served with him." Many other letters of a like nature from his brother officers and men were received by his widow and his father. Major Bucknill was a fine horseman, and when his Brigade went to Ireland in 1911 he became master of the regimental pack of harriers at Cahir. He was also a good shikar and captured some fine heads in N. Nigeria, although game was scarce. He was a scientific collector of coleoptera and lepidoptera, and able to interest professors at the British Museum. He _m._ at St. Michael's Church, Hathersage, co.
