He studied with Stanford and Vaughan Williams at the RCM, before and after war service during which he was wounded, gassed and shell-shocked.Between 1919 and 1922 he composed intensively, especially songs in a flowing, sensuous style more influenced by Parry and German lieder than by the folksong movement. His later years were spent in mental hospitals.
