W J Carrie's diary mentions him in the entry for 10 Dec 1941 as Managing Director of Kelly & Walsh:

 I have now engaged Glover Man. Director of Kelly & Walsh to be my assistant – I just can’t do it all.

Later in 1942, Carrie writes that Glover was able to leave Stanley Camp and go to Shanghai.

 

There's also a mention of Glover in 1948 as the owner of 28 Lugard Road.
