'He was killed near Ypres in a night attack while leading his men into action. A boy of singularly handsome appearance and charm of manner, he was one of the best known and most popular of later Malvernians. It is certain that he was equally popular in his Regiment, for his Sergeant writes: "If any man could give his life to fetch him back he would be back at once. There is no doubt he was one of the best, and that is not the opinion of his platoon but of the whole Battalion." A fine epitaph this! His simple, generous, loyal character gave him quite an extraordinary influence during his last year or two at School.' (Malvernian, Jun 1915).
