 The McGregor Card Index of DLI Officers contains the following information...."After leaving Pangbourne he lived a varied life.  He trained shooting dogs, farmed for a while in Essex and, after his marriage, ran a hotel in London.  The outbreak of War found him in Jersey learning all departments of his father-in-law's business, with a view to becoming a Director.  He volunteered at once and went to England where, after a period in the ranks of the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, went to OCTU and then joined the Durham Light Infantry.  He went with them to Normandy in June 1944 where he was killed".
