E. C. S. Shuttleworth

Edward Cheke Smalley Shuttleworth CIE (1866 – 11 December 1943) was a British civil servant who was first sent to India and afterwards (from about 1916) to Burma as head of security in Yangon (Rangoon). In 1918 the editors of the periodical Thuriya objected to the rule whereby the British were required to enter Buddhist temples barefoot. Shuttleworth published an account of the life of prostitutes in the cities of India and Burma in 1917 and in 1923 another about Burmese shorthand.
