THE REV GUY SPENCER BRYAN-BROWN, C.F., ATTD. CANTERBURY BATTN. N.Z.E.F. KILLED IN ACTION WHILE SUCCOURING THE WOUNDED NEAR YPRES, OCTOBER 4TH 1917. AGED 32. At the School 1899-1904 (Day Boy and School House). The Rev. G. S. Bryan-Brown was the second son of the Rev. Willoughby Bryan-Brown, of Vicarage Drive, East- bourne, formerly Rector of Amberley, Stroud. The eldest, Willoughby Bryan-Brown (D.B. and P.H., 1897-1903), gained an open Natural Science Scholarship at Downing College, Cambridge, took his degree with honours in the Mechanical Science Tripos in 1906, was ordained in 1907, and after two and a half years' work as Curate of Christ Church, Eastbourne, went out to India as a missionary of the C.M.S. He became Organising Secretary of the Society for the Oxford district in 1913. The third, D. S. Bryan-Brown (D.B. 1901-2), afterwards at Eastbourne College, was also at Downing and is a Medical Missionary of the S.P.G., who during the War was attached as Doctor to H.B.M. Legation, Peking. Coming to the School from St. Andrew's, Southborough, in May 1899, as a Day Boy, he entered School House in the following Term, reached the Upper Sixth in January 1903, and, having become a House Praepostor in September 1902, was appointed a School Praepostor in the following January, and was Captain of School House from September 1903. He was in the XI. in 1903 and 1904, and in the latter year was third in the batting averages with 25"3. Leaving in July 1904, he followed his elder brother to Downing College, Cambridge, where he was awarded an Exhibition for Classics, and became Captain of his College Cricket XI., Hockey XL, and Tennis Club, and also represented the College in both Rugby and Association Football, and gained his Blue for Hockey in 1908. He had taken his degree in 1907 with honours in the Theological Tripos, but stayed up for another year at Ridley Hall, reading for Holy Orders and qualifying for a Teaching Diploma. In 1908 he was appointed to a Mastership at Glenalmond, and in 1910 was ordained by the Bishop of London in St. Paul's Cathedral as Chaplain at Glenalmond. In 1913 he went as Master and Chaplain to Christ's College, Christchurch, New Zealand, where he became a Captain in the O.T.C. In the Christmas holidays of 1916-17 he was in a Training Camp and sailed for England in February as Temporary C.F. with the 21st N.Z. Reinforcement, and after a period on Salisbury Plain went to the Front on May 29th. In the great "push" of October 4th 1917, he was instantaneously killed by a shell, whilst attending to the wounded outside an advanced Regimental aid post, and was buried near where he fell. One of his Colleagues at Christ's College, a Staff Captain, and officer of N.Z. Pioneers, wrote:- "The doctors who were with him say that he rendered invaluable assistance during the day in bringing in and dressing the wounded, and I am sure from what I know of him that he never spared himself or thought for one moment of the risk he was running, so long as he could help those who were in need. From what I have said you will see that he died as he lived-as a Christian gentleman. He was one of my few close friends, and I thank God from my heart that I had the privilege of knowing him. We all loved him for his cheery, honest, open way, and though his time at the College was short, his influence will be with us long." Another N.Z, Chaplain wrote:- "I do not need to tell you that Guy was simply idolized by the men, and that he did great work among them, for I am sure you have heard that from other sources. He was a shining example to us all, a splendid representative of the best Christian teaching. That is what I thought when I first knew him at College House, Ch. Ch.,New Zealand, and my opinion has been confirmed a hundredfold. "Letters from other former colleagues contained the following:- "He was, I think, the best School Chaplain I ever met. His sincerity, his uprightness, his ability to move about the world like an ordinary man, and always to keep the Christian atmosphere with him, leaving each man, each place the better for his presence, were most marked." "To my mind he was ideal as a Schoolmaster. He has left behind him at Glenalmond and in N.Z., and with his friends in every place a most sacred influence. Everybody loved him. Boy after boy can vouch for the help and guidance he gave them, and we who are older owe him more than words can say. One always came away from a talk with him the stronger and better. His cheerfulness, goodness and manliness in the highest sense, will live in our memories for ever."
