Shortly after the conclusion of the First World War, Bollon played first-class cricket for a Demobilised Officers cricket team against a combined Army and Navy cricket team at Lord's in 1919.[1] He bowled 23.1 overs in the Army and Navy first-innings, taking figures of 5 for 59. In the Demobilised Officers first-innings, he was dismissed for 9 runs by Nigel Haig. He followed up his five wickets in the Army and Navy first-innings by taking the wicket of John Tasker.[2]

In 1920 he began working for the railways, later holding the position of publicity officer for the British Transport Commission. He worked for the railways until 1962.[3] He died at Tavistock in October 1986.
