[1] After six years at Bedales, in 1911 he entered King's College, Cambridge as a pensioner to read History.

At Cambridge University his friends included James Strachey, E. L. Grant Watson, and especially John Maynard Keynes, who went to stay with him in Hungary during the summer of 1913.

He served in a Hussar unit and four days after arriving on the Eastern Front, he was killed in action against the Russians in Bukovina on 22 June 1915.

Keynes had asked the college to include him among those commemorated but another of the Fellows of King's, who had lost a son in the war, objected to the name of someone who had died fighting the Allies being listed with the other fallen.

[3] A collection of his poems in English, edited by F. L. Lucas, was published in 1925 by Leonard and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press.
