EAS 12 Aug 1937 He had been an invalid for some years as a result of being gassed during the war in France. He first came to BEA in 1906. After three months he went back to South Africa, returning to Kenya in 1908 and remaining until 1912. He then went to England and later to Canada where he was living in 1914. After war broke out he joined the Canadian forces and later went to France. While serving on the Western Front he was wounded and gassed and he never fully recovered from the latter. In 1919 he returned to Kenya and four years later joined the staff of the Kenya and Uganda Railway, retiring in 1960. In his younger days he was a very keen sportsman and retained his interest in sports up to recent years. Before the war he was a member of the Parklands and Pirates soccer teams and when in South Africa was a very enthusiastic rugby player. After the war he took a keen interest in rifle shooting in Kenya and was a member of the Kenya Manning Cup team in 1922.  He was also greatly interested in boxing.
