We shall all miss him, for in addition to being a most gallant leader, he was a true comrade dearly loved by both officers and men. He always did his best for the regiment of which he thought so much. He died as he has lived a brave and gallant representative of the Fifth Fusiliers.” ( Taken from Newcastle-upon-Tyne Royal Grammar School Memorial Volume) He is also remembered on Stamford School Roll of Honour.
