Born 1909 in London, he was at the School for three years and little is recorded of his time. He was in the Modern Vth when he left the School. He went upon to Worcester College, Oxford in 1927 and gained his degree. A married man and his son followed him to St. Edward’s. After Oxford he spent time in the London Stock Exchange. He was called up in 1941 and joined the Pioneer Corps, a decision partly forced due to his very poor eyesight. He was promoted to Lieutenant. He was lost in a mine field during the North African Campaign, when he lost his life. His grandson, Angus attended the School 1951-6.
