Notes - Harry emigrated to Australia but before becoming established, the Great War broke out and he enlisted in The Australian Light Horse and found himself in the expeditionary force which landed at Gallipoli in the sea of Mamara, Turkey.
He there contracted dysentery caused by contaminated water and was sent home and demobilized (lucky man).
He suffered from time to time all his life.
Toby formed Watersend Condiments with H A J Ryeland (1930) a factory making horseradish sauce, mint jelly, etc under OK brand in old stable accommodation at the back of Bassingham Court, Dover. Being a bit of an engineer, designed some of his own machinery. During World War II spent some time in the Midlands tuning Rolls Royce MERLIN engines for spitfire fighter aircraft and later set up a factory at Coldred, Dover, to make very light launches to be fitted to tanks.
After the War, returned to Watersend Condiments which was eventually taken over (1955) by Masons and then Colmans of mustard fame. After his death in 1958, Bassingham Court was sold. [1]
