156 OBITUARIES The College heard of Eric’s death in 2004, but has been unable to establish exactly when he died. KENNETH MONCRIEFF LESLIE-SMITH (1920) was a composer of music for broadcasting, theatre and films. Kenneth was born in St Andrew’s on 26 June 1897, educated at Cheltenham and came to King’s to follow the Royal Engineers Special Course. He became a composer of radio musicals, such as Puritan Lullaby, which included Always, one of his best-known songs, and theatre revues such as Black and Blue. He also contributed songs to musicals written by others, for example The Sun Never Sets, for which he wrote the hits Drums and My Love is Like the River. A collaboration with James Dyrenforth produced a song called Television, which featured in the broadcast of the Official Opening Ceremony for the BBC Television Service in 1936. He composed practically the whole of the music for Sweet Yesterday (1945), a musical that ran for 196 performances at the Adelphi, whilst BetYour Life (1952), a joint project with composer Charles Zwar, managed 362 performances at the Hippodrome. Films he worked on included Mayfair Melody (1937) and The Singing Cop (1938); numerous other songs achieved publication. Kenneth died on 1 February 1993. PETER LOCKE (1957) hailed from Wolverhampton, where he was born on 1 February 1937 and later attended Wolverhampton Grammar School. At King’s he read Classics and won the Winchester Reading Prize and in 1958 he was awarded a LRAM (Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music) diploma. From King’s Peter headed to Italy where he taught as an Assistant Master at the English Institute of Naples, the British Institute of Florence and finally St George’s School in Rome. He then turned to acting, working on the stage and for ITV for several years, before a spell in the late 1960s translating art books from Italian into English. Peter also studied advanced piano at the Guildhall School of Music and from 1971 began working as an accompanist and coach.
In 1972 Peter joined the Teatro La Fenice in Venice as Assistant Maestro Collaboratore and in 1980 he worked with the German composer Hans Werner Henze training Italian children to sing in the premiere of Henze’s opera Pollicino. In 1981 Peter joined the Icelandic Opera, taking on roles as pianist, répétiteur and chorus master. From 1987 he went freelance and appeared in concerts and broadcasts across Europe, Australia and South America. Peter died on 8 May 1996. KENNETH ALAN LORD (1940) was born in Leicester on 18 April 1922 and attended the Alderman Newton’s School in the same city. He studied Natural Sciences at King’s, a place he left with happy memories. In August 1942 he took up a position as a research chemist at the Department of Insecticides and Fungicides at the Rothamsted Experimental Station.Alan stayed at Rothamsted for 40 years, retiring in 1982 as the Head of the Chemical Liaison Unit. His work on the chemistry of insecticides is recorded in more than 120 articles in scientific journals. Alan’s expertise was soon so great that he was seconded abroad to help in overseas attempts to deal with the effects of insecticides’ applications. In 1968 the Ministry of Overseas Development asked Alan to go to Pakistan, where he worked at agricultural research institutes in both Karachi and Dacca for two years.After his retirement from Rothamsted,Alan also worked as an adviser in South America and with international agencies such as the International Atomic Energy Agency in the Far East and elsewhere. As Alan successively retired from working as an adviser he and his wife Rowena, whom he had married in 1947, moved first to Dorset and then to an old farmhouse on the Orkney island of Hoy. In full retirement Alan could now dedicate himself to his two hobbies of gardening and photography. Alan and Rowena moved back to England in 2000 when they settled in their last shared home in Ketton, close to Stamford. Alan died peacefully at home on 25 August 2006. His wife Rowena and their daughter Mary were with him at the end. 157 OBITUARIES
