After the first world war he took the Membership of the Royal College of Physicians of London in 1921 and the Diploma in Ophthalmic Medicine and Surgery in 1922.
He made his subsequent career in surgical practice in Hattingspruit, Natal, South Africa, where he died on 4 November 1972 aged about ninety-two.
