'He entered No. 3 as a Minor Scholar, and left with an Exhibition at Worcester College, Oxford. In 1907 he was ordained, and did good work in several London parishes. Early in the war he joined the Army as a Chaplain, but subsequently took a combatant commission in the Royal West Kent Regiment. For some time he was with the Special Reserve Battalion at Chatham, where his old Headmaster saw a good deal of him. Recently he went to the front, and died of wounds received in action. He was, as boy and man, attractive and deservedly popular, and his influence was always for good. As an officer, he was an expert in musketry, and very efficient in all ways. There are many who will mourn his loss.' (Malvernian, Jul 1918).
