Walter was a Christchurch publisher with premises in the Grain Agency Buildings. He moved to Masterton in the 1920s. He was closely associated with Rugby football in New Zealand in pre-war days, and accompanied one All Black Team to Australia as a newspaper representative. He and Edith were both honorary life members of the Canterbury Rugby Union, the honour being bestowed on them for their services to the game in Canterbury.
