He was called up at 17 and joined the Royal Artillery and worked on radar and searchlight developments. He receives a disability pension owing to hearing loss as a result of working on the guns during the Clydebank raids. Their eldest child attends Ainslie Park but was moved from the language course to the technical course. Female INTVEE disappointed as this means they would not attend Leith Academy.
