On 4 Nov 1925 he married Daisy Mainwaring Lockett Fair. [2]
He was a partner in Deacons, a well-known law firm in Hong Kong. [2]
He doesn't appear on the lists of internees at Stanley, although his wife was interned there, so he may be the 'Turner, Michael H. [131] 2nd Lieutenant' of the 7th Heavy AA Battery listed on the Hong Kong War Diary website [3]. That would have made him a POW in Hong Kong during WW2.
