'In November, 1914, he was given his commission, and went to the front in September 1916. He was killed on July 31st, while leading his men into action. Letters from those who knew him as a soldier all speak highly of his courage and coolness, and, above all, of that unfailing cheeriness which won him the affection of men and officers. Under the surface, too, there was a depth of feeling that perhaps only his most intimate friends were aware of. He has left behind him the memory of "a great example of a soldier and a gentleman." ' (Malvernian, Nov 1917).
