Charles Biscoe

German-born Charles Biscoe won the British épée title in 1924, beating the defending champion Martin Holt into second place. Consequently, Biscoe went to Paris for the Olympics where he took part in the team and individual competitions. Having won England international honours, Biscoe travelled to New York with the Great Britain team to take on the United States for the Thompson Trophy in 1926 but was on the losing side. He appeared in his second Olympics in Amsterdam in 1928 and in 1934 was captain of the Great Britain team in the Thompson Trophy contest. It was his last international appearance.

Biscoe was a founding member of the Amateur Fencing Association, and served as an active member from 1902-39. He was honorary treasurer from 1926-28 and then honorary secretary until 1936 when he was elected a vice-president.
