dance. He was a tall, fair young man, with crisp curly hair, a rather interesting nose, turned up not down, and a great air of careless confidence about him. He was introduced to me, asked for a couple of dances, and said that his friend Griffiths had told him to look out for me. We got on together very well; he danced splendidly and I danced again several more times with him. I enjoyed the evening thoroughly. In April 1913, Lt Christie was seconded to the Royal Flying Corps, and he became a flying officer with No. 3 Squadron based at Larkhill. Unable to continue flying because of sinus problems, he became a transport officer, also in the Royal Flying Corps. On Christmas Eve 1914, shortly after the outbreak of World War I, Christie and Agatha were married at Emmanuel Church, Clifton, Bristol, close to the home of his parents. Christie was progressively promoted during the war until he became colonel. He was mentioned in despatches five times; and, at the end of the war, he received a DSO and a CMG. Life with Agatha Christie After the war, Christie and Agatha took a flat in Northwick Terrace in London for a short time. Their only child, Rosalind Margaret Clarissa, was born in Agatha's childhood home, Ashfield, in Torquay in 1919. Soon after this, they found a larger flat in Addison Mansions, London. Christie left the military and took a job in the Imperial and Foreign Corporation. He remained there until 1922 when he was offered a position by his father's former colleague Major Ernest Belcher as financial adviser in the British Empire Exhibition Tour. The purpose of the Tour was to promote the forthcoming British Empire Exhibition, which was to be held at Wembley in 1924 and 1925. The Tour departed in January 1922 and returned ten months later. During that time, Christie and Agatha visited many places around the world and came to know Major Ernest Belcher, who led the Tour and subsequently organised many parts of the Wembley Exhibition. After they returned from the tour, Christie found a job in the city and later moved to Austral Development, which established him in the world of finance. He started to play golf and was elected to the Sunningdale Golf Club. He spent many of his weekends there while Agatha worked on her novels in their London flat. Christie
