He batted in both Surrey Club innings', being dismissed without scoring by Jemmy Dean in their first-innings, while in their second-innings he was dismissed by James Grundy. He served in the British Army with the 80th Regiment of Foot in British India, later serving with the 11th Hussars, where he held the rank of lieutenant colonel. He died at Cheltenham in December 1916.
