During WWII he volunteered and spent five years service in Burma and India on secondment to the Indian Army, serving as a Warrant Officer in the Intelligence Corp. On his return to civilian life he became a member of RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) and worked in Newcastle on varying projects including several public buildings and football grounds.
