Major Wellesley Tudor Pole O.B.E. (born Tudor Wellesley Pole 23 April 1884 – 13 September 1968)[1][2] was a spiritualist and early British Bahá'í. He authored many pamphlets and books and was a lifelong pursuer of religious and mystical questions and visions, being particularly involved with spiritualism and the Bahá'í Faith as well as the quest for the Holy Grail of Arthurian Legend. The musician and actor Edward Tudor-Pole is his grandson. Personal history and events of noteBorn in 1884, he was educated at Blundell's School in Tiverton in Devon and at the age of 20 became managing director of the family firm involved in marketing grains and cereals[3] and also became involved in adventures to find the Holy Grail.[4] He pursued investigations in the Middle East. On a visit to Constantinople prior to the Young Turk Revolution in 1908 he heard of `Abdu'l-Bahá[5] head of the Bahá'í Faith and met and interviewed him over 9 days in late November 1910 in Cairo and Alexandria.[6] For the next several decades he was active in the Bahá'í Faith as well as other interests. When `Abdu'l-Bahá travelled to the West, Tudor Pole spoke the English translation of his first talk on the evening of 10 September 1911.[7][8] In 1912 he married Florence Snelling, with whom he had three children over the next nine years.[3] During World War I, Tudor Pole served in the Directorate of Military Intelligence in the Middle East and was directly involved in addressing the concerns raised by the Ottoman threats against `Abdu'l-Bahá which ultimately required General Allenby altering his plans for the prosecution of the war in the Palestine theatre.[8] After the War, Tudor Pole began his writing career with Private Dowding which dealt with a soldier and his afterlife, and instituted The Silent Minute (in collaboration with Sir Winston Churchill), which united the British people each evening at 9 p.m. at the chiming of Big Ben on the radio.[9] Then came The Lamplighter Movement.[10] In 1921, while Tudor Pole was Secretary of the Local Spiritual Assembly in London,[11] the telegram announcing the death of `Abdu'l-Bahá by his sister, Bahíyyih Khánum, arrived at Tudor Pole's home in London and it was there read by Shoghi Effendi.[12] In 1922 he began a long association with a project aimed at relieving the oppression the Bolsheviks on religionists in Russia.[3] (See also Bahá'í Faith in Turkmenistan.) Returning to his searches through the Middle East, Tudor Pole aided in the modern day identification of the site of the ancient Boukoleon Palace, also known as the House of Justinian.[13] Following Shoghi Effendi's leadership of the Bahá'í Faith, and the change in style and priorities of the leadership of the religion, Tudor Pole could not leave behind his spiritualist involvements and his involvement in the religion ebbed.[14] In 1959 Tudor Pole founded a group preserving the Chalice Well and Bride's Mound of Glastonbury, England.[3] Tudor Pole wrote several books investigating spiritualist approaches to faith and the meaning of the times until his death in 1968. Works relating to him continued to be published after his death. Writings
Mentioned in other booksSome of his contributions to history and humanity are referenced in The Story of the Divine Plan - Taking place during and immediately following World War I and is mentioned extensively in The Servant, the General and Armageddon ({{ISBN|0853984247}}). Sir George Trevelyan: memories and observations[21] mentions his close friendship with and actions on behalf of Tudor Pole. A biography The Two Worlds of Wellesley Tudor Pole by Gerry Fenge is being published on the internet and covers 1884 to 1931.[22] Biographical notesFrom the introduction to The Silent Road[23] By Brinsley le Poer Trench
