He was born in 1878 and received his general education at Kent College, Canterbury. His technical training was obtained at the Royal Technical College, Salford, and at the City and Guilds College, South Kensington. After serving his apprenticeship at the General Electric Company's Peel Works, Salford, from 1895 to 1899, he was employed during the next three years as installation manager for power, light, and telephone plants.
He then began his career in the Far East with the post of inspector of mechanical and electrical signalling on the Perak State Railways. Six years later he became chief telegraph engineer in the Post and Telegraph Department of the F.M.S., a position he filled until 1926 when he received his final appointment as engineer-in-chief.
