Egmont while still at High School in New Plymouth and subsequently while employed in the Bank of New Zealand at Waitara. His climbing was interrupted by war service with the Navy in the Pacific, but upon his discharge he rejoined the Bank in Christchurch and became an active member of the Canterbury-Westland Section of the Club. He was Secretary of the Section in 1949."
