Emigrated to Canada in 1910 and worked in the timber trade, but when war broke out he returned to England with the Canadian army and was obliged to remain here because of ill health. Subsequently he joined a firm of City accountants where he remained until he retired. He was inspired by his father to become interested in Lepidoptera but by his late teens had taken up the Coleoptera and in particular the water beetles in which he subsequently became very knowledgeable.
