A pupil once asked if he had killed anyone, including both other soldiers, and also civilians. Although he refused to answer, he visibly became distressed.

He was introduced to Clara Oswald by Mr Armitage. She later asked him to join her for a drink and he embarrassed himself. He later went out to coffee with her. (TV: Into the Dalek)
