'He will be remembered at School as a rather delicate, nervous boy, who played extremely well at full back in his winning House Eleven. Always a keen Volunteer and Territorial soldier, he was given a commission in the West Surrey Regt, at the outbreak of war, but was obliged to relinquish it owing to a breakdown in health. It seemed likely that he would not again be able to serve his country, but his health improved and he joined the Suffolk Regt. As a Private and rose to Sergeant. He had been recommended for a commission just before he died of wounds on November 21st in hospital abroad. He leaves a widow and two sons.' (Malvernian, Dec 1916).
He was wounded on the attack on Serre and 'he died of self-administered opium poisoning while being transferred from the battlefield to hospital on 21 November 1916'.Detailed biography at Oadby remembers
