Took a teaching position at Repton after Clare but was there less than a year and then took a job as organist at Guy's hospital in London. He then taught music at Morley College at the same time as working at Guy's hospital and was also a music critic for the Times and New Statesman. He was killed in action at Gallipoli during the First World War.
