His early years revealed an adaptable spirit, serving in the Ministry of Munitions during the chaotic World War I era. By 1918, he was involved in a new venture, joining the Abbey Road Building Society - which would later become Abbey National in 1944. His natural knack for leadership led to his appointment as Secretary in 1921. As a remarkable figurehead in the building society movement, he pioneered the Metropolitan Building Societies Association and penned defining works such as 'The Building Society Movement' (1927) and 'The Silent Revolution: the Influence of Building Societies on the Modern Housing Problem' (1928). His tenure as the chairman of the National Association of Building Societies from 1933 and as the president of the International Union of Building Societies from 1934-38 garnered international recognition, particularly from the USA. The year 1935 saw him bestowed with the Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur title, alongside the position of an officer of the Australian Order of Merit, and an honorary LLD from the American University in Washington DC in 1939. He and his wife, Kate (nee Peacock) were members of the Fernhead Road WM church in Paddington where they forged a strong bond, made evident when he dedicated a memorial window following her passing in 1959. Sir Harold's far-reaching influence included governance roles at Queenswood School and the LSE, as well as the general treasurer of the NCHO. A staunch supporter of Ramsay Macdonald in 1931, he was honoured with a knighthood the following year. Forever the enthusiastic reader and proficient writer, he penned his autobiography, 'Cornish Cockney: Reminiscences and Reflections' in 1947. This remarkable man concluded his earthly journey in London on June 1, 1963.
