In World War I he was a "fierce opponent" of the war and was so irksome to the Government that David Lloyd George personally arranged his conscription into the Royal Artillery. He was rescued by recruitment to the Foreign Office, and was sent to neutral Sweden, in association with Arthur Ransome.[3]

Edith Nesbit, the author of The Railway Children, and the natural daughter of Nesbit's husband Hubert Bland.[4]
