Creation/Production

He was born in Leicester. He married Florence Annie Elizabeth Woods in 1917 who died in 1961. On active service in France, he received wounds to the right side of his face and his right elbow, so could no longer become the professional artist he had hoped to be, however he retrained his left hand and returned to drawing, producing accomplished sketches and landscapes. He emigrated to New Zealand to be with his daughter in 1981.
