...Very keen on CCF at Campbell; played hockey there. Much involved with QUB OTC. From there into RADC as Lieutenant then Captain. Airborne Brigade Arnehm 1944. Involved in Armoured Division as a MO in Rhine crossing and subsequent battles. Regarded by many of his contemporaries in RADC as the most able of the group who, had he stayed, would have in all probability been DADS. Very enthusiastic Sailor at Quoile Yacht Club, Downpatrick, and then North Down Yacht Club, Strangford Lough. Later Commodore at ND.
...Honorary consultant School of Dentistry, Royal Victoria Hospital. Retired from practice at 332 Upper Newtonards Road for his own health, and also to nurse wife, who was terminally ill with Rheumatoid arthritis. Moved to a bungalow at Circular Road, Belfast.
