Born Scotland but brought up in Kent. His WW2 job involved defusing mines washed up on British beaches. Working in the Bridlington Bay area he defused a bomb and then put the fuse and detonator in his pocket for later examination. Walking through a local town he slipped on ice and the fall caused an explosion which killed him. See the Picture source for more information.
