| Notes | In 1940 he married a fellow music student, Mary Lilian Samuel, daughter of an English mother and Indian father. He still had asthma, so was rejected for military service. In 1943 he joined Reuters, and the next year the News Chronicle, moving into a big house in Hammersmith where he was able to paint large pictures and pursue his interest in weightlifting, which enabled him to overcome his asthma. |
