He was in the VIII for two years, and was Captain of the Headroom boats. Though somewhat easygoing and kind-hearted, he was first rate at carrying out any work he was given to do, and influenced others by the charm of his character rather than by his forcibility.

In November, 1914, he was given a commission in the 3rd Battalion, Wiltshire Regiment, which he accepted with some reluctance. lie had only moved up to the firing line about ten days before he was killed.
