Comment: As far as I can tell there is no WP:GNG coverage. Most of the sources were published by his employer or close affiliates (including Cowper 1939). I could find no mention of Anwyll in the Harvey book. Homfray, and I assume Gordon, are just passing mentions/database entries insufficient to count towards notability.
