Director of the Geological Survey Uganda for 20 years; CBE. British by birth, he studied as an architect and only later as a geologist, collecting his first stone artefacts at Cheddar Gorge, England in 1901. Before the First World War he had worked for mining companies in Egypt, Mozambique (Wayland 1915) and Sri Lanka. Originally sent to Uganda to prospect for minerals useful for Britain's war effort. He briefly studied archaeology at Cambridge during his Directorship of the Geological Survey Uganda. After further military service in the Second World War, he was sent to Botswana in 1943 and became Director of Bechuanaland Geological Survey. In addition to the few artefacts from Mozambique, he located numerous archaeological sites in East Africa, excavating some of them, notably Nsongezi, and also wrote on Botswanan prehistory.
