On July 26, 1916, he was killed in action on the Western Front.〔 ==Bibliography== * ''Miquel's theorem and the double six'', Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, 1918. * ''Apolarity and canonical forms'', Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, 1918. * ''On canonical forms'', Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, 1920. * ''Chords of twisted cubics'', Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, 1923. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edward Wakeford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
