The school Chronicle wrote (December 1916) that "He left from the Third and went to Epsom College. His frank sound nature made him a favourite with all: he made friends everywhere. Though he went on to another school, his five years at the Grammar School meant that there is a large circle of Old Boys who mourn his loss. He was serving as a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Berkshire Regiment when he fell."'
