During the war he served as a private with the North Lancashire Loyal Regiment, serving in the North African campaign and later the Italian campaign, where he was killed in action during a German counterattack in the Battle of Anzio in February 1944. His brother, John, had been killed two years previously when his bomber was shot down over Germany. (en)
