He was born in 1882 and educated at Clifton College, and commissioned from Durham University Officers Training Corps into the 2/7 Bn West Riding Regiment early in 1915. Many thanks

Hi Ron

All information from Ancestry, no special interests other than searching.

1911 census Botham Hall, first address on Mic  Father George William a stockbroker, shows 3 daughters and a son but married 14 yrs 1 child, 1 living. So probably second marriage, Charlotte Allson mother in law present. 4 servants. 15 rooms.
