I've listed this article for peer review because I feel the article is at GA standard.

Date of birth: both Who's Who and The Times obituary give his date of birth as 19 October 1893.
Parents: both the above say that his father was a Fellow of the Royal Society - not something you'd expect in a bank manager. Who's Who states that his mother was called Muriel

Both these need clearing up, I think. Tim riley (talk) 12:42, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll bet it was the Royal Society of Arts. That mistake has been made before. Brianboulton (talk) 23:26, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Given the length of the article, four paragraphs is a bit long for the lead
Spell out WW1
Any more information on his early life?
