He reached the Sixth Form before he left, and then went on to University College, London. On the outbreak of war he became an Engineer Officer in a tank steamer, and nearly two years later was killed in the execution of his duties on a cargo boat. As a boy, he was of a quiet, reserved nature, but always showed solidity of character and a great sense of duty. |
