Wartime Service
Having received his training at Ampthill Park he was drafted to France in July 1916. An article in the Hertfordshire Express on the 12th of May 1917 mentions that he passed away at a base hospital from wounds received in heavy fighting on the 30th of April. His friends said that "he was a man of fine physique, ever ready to do a comrade a good turn" and that he'll be missed.
