Peter Denny Strang was born on 26 April 1889, in London, the son of William, an artist and Agnes.

Rugby unionedit
Strang played his rugby for his school's old boys club, Old Merchant Taylors. Although he was never selected to play rugby for England, he was selected to tour with the Combined British on the 1910 tour to Argentina where he played in what Argentina count as their first test match.
