He enjoyed society, and the prospect of leaving it for the life of an aviator daunted him.
Has two (older?) brothers and three nephews.
Prior to becoming an aviator, Laurence had the prospect of marriage to Edith Galman, but was not formally engaged. He was 4 years her senior.
At the beginning of His Majesty's Dragon, he had been away from England for most of the past four years.
Served at the Battle of the Nile on the HMS Goliath.
Visited Rome as a boy.
