Notes
All extra details are based on information supplied by the College Archivist (see Additional Information). This included the following biographical details: 'Elected to an Exhibition but name not entered in the Admissions Register [for 1915] so presumably joined army before coming up to the College'. He was the eldest son of William, a Director of the John Innes Horticultural Institute in Merton, Surrey, and Grandson of a former Master of St John's. Educated at Charterhouse, he would have read Natural Sciences at John's - beetles were his particular fascination - but enlisted instead, surviving being wounded and being awarded the MC in February 1918.
