Then there was the First World War in which he served as a member of the Duke of Westminster’s squadron of armoured Rolls- Royce cars. This consisted of driving up to the front, firing machine-guns and then reversing at 20mph, he recalled (”we were not popular”)’.
Courtenay later served with the Army Service Corps, and was promoted Captain in January 1919. Following the cessation of hostilities he returned to advertising and worked for the General Electric Co. before launching his own agency. He then worked as a Hotelier, successively in Guildford, Devon, and Hertfordshire, and began to write a hotel column for the Morning Post. In 1933 he founded and authored the hotel and travel guide, Lets Halt Awhile which he published for over 50 years. He died on 7 October 1986, aged 98 years, whilst on a a wine tasting cruise in the Mediterranean and Black Sea with his third wife.
