I was from the mainland of Europe, rather than the UK, although I did do some notable work there. I did some work for Kaiser Wilhelm as well.
I was born 3 years after Faulds.
I died in Monte Carlo.

From the clues you've now given that must be Georges Auguste Escoffier?

No not William Golding, who was actually my English master whilst at Grammar School in the late 1950's, well before he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was nicknamed "Scruff" by us schoolboys owing to his unkempt appearance.

Thanks for the compliment Moonraker but I was a bit pre-occupied with the visit from my family for the day, it only happens once a month as we live 90 km apart.

Well that covers a lot of ground so could we know if it is male or female and dead or alive?
