He is actively engaged in all forms of civil engineering, and was Consulting Engineer to the Admiralty for the Singapore Naval Base. Among other important positions he has held has been that of Consulting Engineer to the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's Cathedral in respect of the safety of the Cathedral ; and that of Chief Engineer of the Ports Construction to the British Armies in France and Belgium from 1916 to 1918.
The honour of Commander of the Order of the Crown of Belgium was bestowed on him, and he retired with the rank of Brigadier-General in 1919. From 1918 to 1919 he was Civil Engineer-in-Chief to the Admiralty, and for the next two years was director-General of Civil Engineering to the Ministry of Transport.

The BBC Orchestra
(Section D)
Led by Marie Wilson
Conducted by Harold Darke
Stanley Riley (baritone) (Soloist, STANLEY RILEY )The St. Michael's Singers were founded in 1919 with the object of giving those who are engaged in daily work in the City of London an opportunity of taking part in, and listening to, performances-of the best choral music both accompanied and a cappella ; and especially to give annual performances of J. S. Bach's Christmas Oratorio and St. John Passion. Since then the Society has developed, and its influence has extended far beyond the boundaries of the City. The ' Singers ' are strictly limited to eighty picked voices, who rehearse weekly during the whole year . In addition to the special annual Bach performances, they hold an annual four days' Musical Festival each November.
