Career
His own favourite recording in the archive he created was of the mating call of the haddock. Patrick Saul was created Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 1971. When he retired in 1978, Lord Boyle of Handsworth, who was Financial Secretary to the Treasury when the Archive received government funding in the early 1960s, described Patrick Saul"s career as one of ‘quite exceptional modesty and humility on the one side and ruthless determination on the other.’.
