At the age of 12, he was transferred from St. James School to Brighton Harrow. He was treated poorly by the older boys because he wasn't afraid to speak his mind and stand up for himself.

He graduated with honors at age 18 and became an officer in the Calvary. His father died after the new year. In 1895, he became a war correspondent during the Cuban Rebellion.
