He joined the Manchester Police and then enlisted in the Manchester Regt. in Sep. 1914, serving in Salonika until late 1917 where he caught malaria and had to be invalided out in April 1918. Afterwards ran the Ovaltine poultry farm until retirement. He was still involved with the club post war and may have played again once he had fully recovered. W.
