'He went to France on Christmas Day 1914, and was for some time in the trenches. Having been invalided home he was sent to another Battalion of his Regiment at Quetta, where he died from appendicitis on May 25th, 1917. Cheery and buoyant in temperament and fond of every kind of game and sport he had many of the qualities which go to form the good soldier and popular officer. He was not at Malvern long enough to become prominent, but he was one of those boys who are quick to make friends wherever they go, and there will be many besides his own family to mourn his loss.' (Malvernian, Jul 1917).
