He was a Welshman by birth, moving to Lancashire in his teens and finally settling in Wiltshire after his extended duty in the British Army in India, Born in 1912, he settled in Netheravon, Wiltshire and took up residence , the Avon river ran at the back of his cottage ,across the road from the great Frank Sawyer another hero of mine in fly fishing they became close friends and fishing companions.
