A soldier of the last war, he ws at one time a champion swimmer and footballer, A war injury having prevented his taking part in those sports in later years, he threw all his entergy into fostering these among the young men. He was secretary of the local sub-branch of the R.S.L. and was vice-commodore of the yacht club. Most of his time since his discharge in 1919 had been spent in Port Augusta.
