Administrative / biographical background

The diarist, born in 1869, was Chief Engineer, and Secretary to the Governor of the United Provinces, India, until his retirement in 1923. He and his wife then lived in Brittany, paying visits to London and to Switzerland, until in 1928 they settled in Earls Court, Kensington. With his wife's sister and brother-in-law, they toured Europe from December 1937 until September 1939, when obliged to return to England by the outbreak of war. Back in Kensington, he served as an Air Raid Warden. He died in 1951. His interests included the Church, the League of Nations Union, the Charity Organisation Society, and the theatre.
