A philatelist specialist of the postage stamps of the United Kingdom and some of its colonies, he was president of the Royal Philatelic Society London between 1953 and 1956, of whom he was a member since 1914.
He was then the founding president of the Great Britain Philatelic Society in 1955, the year he signed the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists.
