He was a v good teacher with a great appreciation of the English language and literature. Also a great sense of humour - he told me my handwriting showed character and for a while I took this as a compliment! He spent WWII as a Lt i/c of an AA Battery in parts of UK. Dik Shaw (at his retirement celebration dinner) told me he died fairly soon after retiring - like most schoolmasters at that time he seemed to be a heavy smoker.
