Biographical / Historical
Geoffrey Milne (1898-1942) was two years younger than Arthur. He was educated at Leeds University and served in the First World War with the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry and with the Royal Engineers Sound-ranging Section.
Afterwards he became an agricultural scientist with special interest in soil research, working in East Africa and elsewhere on tropical agriculture and soil conservation. A short account of his career, published in 1978 by Mrs. Kathleen Milne (widow), from which this information is drawn, is included at MS. Eng. misc. b.423/A.21.
