• Notes

  The book "Croydon and the Second World War" (1949) indicates that he was a captain in the Royal Engineers, and an MBE. There is no obvious 1939 Register entry. His military record in the Royal Engineers says Service 21/5/1920 to 3/2/1941, most of which appears to have been overseas. I cannot understand the record, but he was at the Suez Canal in the months before he stopped.
