REMEMBER BROWN? I receive "Navy News" regularly from a pal of mine, and reading your boxing notes I wondered if any old-timers remember me? As an ordinary signalman in H.M.S. Bellerophon, I fought aboard the Emperor of India for the 4th B.S. cham- pionship, meeting Stoker Brown, Seaman Milligan, and finally Seaman Lampard. Leaving the Navy in April, 1918, I came to New Zealand two years later, fighting as a professional until 1924 when I got married. I am 70 - a bit too old to box now! - but I enjoy reading "Navy News." As a Jutland veteran I am convenor for a Jutland reunion each year here. There are only 10 of us, but with wives and guests we get together a party of about 30. Our patron is Vice-Admiral Sir Peter Phipps. My ship at Jutland was the torpedo-boat destroyer Faulknor.
