'When war broke out he was in Ceylon where he had been engaged in tea planting. He came home early in the war and volunteered as a motor ambulance driver for Lady Bagot's Hospital. Subsequently he joined Mrs. Stobart’s Red Cross contingent as an ambulance driver under the Serbian Relief Fund. In this capacity he served throughout the Serbian retreat, and finally was one of the party who tramped over the Albanian Mountains to Scutari. After returning to England to recuperate he trained for a commission, and in the autumn of 1916 was gazetted to the Herefordshire Regiment. In March last he was attached to the Bedford Regiment, with whom he was serving when killed.' (Malvernian, Jun 1917).
