Post-war
After the war, except the odd occasion, he wasn't the stroke player that he was. He served as Billy Griffith's vice captain in 1946 and took over the captaincy for the next three seasons. In 1947, he lifted Sussex from bottom to ninth place, but they slipped back to 16 and 14 in the next two years. He scored more than a thousand runs in 1938, 1939 and 1947. Before the 1950 season, he resigned the captaincy following some disputes and returned to stockbroking. Later, he reconciled with Sussex and served as the President between 1977 and 1979.
He collapsed and died while watching Sussex play Yorkshire in a Sunday League match at Hove in 1988.

Famous quotes containing the word post-war:
“Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
