A Royal Navy commander, Forrest was a product of services rugby and gained 10 England caps as a second row forward during the early 1930s, which included the 1934 triple crown.[1][2]

Forrest moved to Bath in the 1950s after retiring from the Navy and founded the Bath Christian Aid Week committee.[3]
