	Sir Ahmadu Bello [KBE 1959]
	Bello's obituary, which was published in The Times on 17 January 1966, reads:-
	Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto, whose death is reported from Nigeria, was one of the most powerful figures - possibly the most powerful - in Nigeria.
	His political career was entirely in Northern Nigeria, of which he had been Premier since 1954, the first holder of the post. He played no formal part in federal politics. As president of the Northern People's Congress, however, he was the leader of the largest party in the Federation, which was the senior component of the Federal Government. Significantly, the Federal Prime Minister, Sir Abubakur Tafawa Balewa, has never been more than the Sardauna's deputy within the party, though the common assertion that this had made him simply the Sardauna's lieutenant in Lagos grew steadily less true as Sir Abubakur's stature increased.
	Of the Sardauna's importance as ruler of the largest region of the federation there can be no doubt. The very fact that he and his ally, Chief Akintola, Premier of the West, have now been removed from the scene by assassination confirms this.
	Sir Ahmadu's power derived from the fact that he combined in his person aristocracy and high religious standing, a formidable combination in Northern Nigeria. He was born in 1909 [other sources say 1910] in Rabah in the Sokoto province. His father was district head of Rabah and Ahmadu himself later held that office from 1934 to 1938.
	He was educated at the provincial school in Sokoto and then at the Katsina teacher training college, the nursery of so many of the leaders of the north. He then taught English and mathematics for three years in Sokoto before becoming district head. A rival for the Sultanate of Sokoto, he was appointed Sardauna, and for a time - many years ago now - there was friction between him and the Sultan.
	Ahmadu Bello's first cautious steps towards politics proper came with his support in 1945 for the Youth Social Circle. Four years later he sat in the Northern House of Assembly as representative of Sokoto, and in the constitutional discussions in 1949 and 1950 he quickly emerged as the spokesman for northern views - in effect the political embodiment of the emirs and sultans. When the Northern People's Congress, started as a cultural organization, became a party in 1951 its leading members included Ahmadu Bello and Sir Abubakar, later Federal Prime Minister. In 1954 the Sardauna became the party's general president.
	His position had been vastly strengthened in 1963, when, in his capacity as head of the Northern Nigerian Government, he forced the resignation of the then Emir of Kano - his own kinsman - whose administration had been severely criticized by a one-man commission of inquiry.
	Ahmadu Bello was possibly the last representative of a type of rule now obsolete in Africa. That he has met his end in the tragedy of assassination rather than by the processes of political evolution - and this in a country whose responsible leaders have been among the most outspoken critics of change by violence - is sadly ironic.
	As to the manner of his death, The Guardian reported on 18 January 1966:-
	Mr Bernard Floud, the Labour MP for Acton, who arrived at London Airport last night from Kaduna, Northern Nigeria, described the assassination of the Regent Premier, Sir Ahmadu Bello.
	Mr Floud, who went to Kaduna a month ago to attend a board meeting of the Northern Nigerian Broadcasting Service, said the first he knew of the revolt was at 2 a.m. on Saturday morning. A section of the army led by a major broke into the home of the Premier on the outskirts of Kaduna and shot down five policemen. They broke farther into the house and shot the Premier's bodyguard, he said. The Premier was then brought out and shot against the wall. His senior wife, who tried to intervene, was also shot. Then the house was burned down.
	Sir Henry Benbow [KCB 1902]
	All awards of the Victoria Cross are, without doubt, wholly merited. There are bound to be, however, numerous actions which deserve the award of a Victoria Cross, but which go unrewarded. One such action was that of Henry Benbow, during the expedition to relieve General Gordon in the Sudan in 1885, which earned him the nickname of "The Man who who Mended the Boiler."
	The following note is copied from the website http://www.benbowfamily.com. I have done everything I can think of to obtain the permission of the owner of the website to reproduce this note, but in vain. Numerous emails have been ignored. I therefore reproduce the website's words here, and emphasize that this note was created by a third party.
	BENBOW, HENRY, Chief Engineer, RN, was born in London 5 September 1838, son of James Benbow, of Thornton Heath, Surrey, and his wife, Caroline (nee Parrey); educated at a private school; entered the Royal Navy as Assistant Engineer, 1861; became Chief Engineer 1879; served in Nile Expedition for relief of General Gordon, 1884‑85, being attached as Chief Engineer to the Naval Brigade, under the command of Lord Charles Beresford, in connection with river steam-boat flotilla. The Naval Brigade did not accompany General [Sir Herbert] Stewart [1843‑1885] but crossed the desert later, and was not at the Battle of Abu Klea. A desperate effort, in which Colonel Fred Burnaby was killed, was made to save General Gordon before the fall of Khartoum. The Expedition reached the Nile at Gubat. Here it was met by four little steamers sent down by General Gordon from Khartoum. Sir Charles Wilson [1836‑1905], with a score of British soldiers and 266 Sudanese troops, started off at once for Khartoum in two of the steamers. On 1 February 1885, Lieutenant [Edward James Montagu-]Stuart-Wortley [1857‑1934] brought down word that General Gordon was dead, that Khartoum had fallen, and that Sir Wilson's two steamers had been wrecked thirty miles up river.
	Lord Charles Beresford started to the rescue on the Salia, which had originally been a 'penny steamboat' on the Thames, with Benbow and a crew of bluejackets, a few picked soldier marksmen, two Gardner guns, and two brass four-pounder Egyptian mountain guns on board. The Salia was old, and could only make two and half knots per hour against the stream. The following morning they had to pass the fort of Wad-el-Habeshi, where three heavy Krupp guns were mounted, with 5,000 dervishes well entrenched, while a quarter of a mile further on could be seen the wreck of one of Sir Charles Wilson's steamers, and the island upon which he and his men had taken refuge. By concentrating machine-gun fire on the embrasures, they ran the gauntlet, and had passed some two hundred yards up stream, when a shot from the fort pierced the crazy vessel's boiler, killing or scalding all the engine-room hands, except one leading stoker, Royal Navy. The way on the boat enabled it to be headed across and anchored on the opposite shore. Although the dash across the desert had been carried out in the lightest possible order, Chief Engineer Benbow had brought with him the necessary plates, bolts, nuts, tools, etc, for dealing with such an emergency. With his own hands he cut out and bent a new plate, sixteen inches by fourteen inches, drilled the holes, cut the threads of the screws on bolts and nuts, and after some ten hours' work standing in water, he was able to report that the job was done. During all this time bullets pattered continually on the hull, some of them piercing it and striking the wounded who lay below, and any moment a shell might have burst into the engine-room.
	At 5 am the fires were lit with the utmost caution and steam got up. The guns of the fort were safely eluded, Sir Charles Wilson's party picked up, and the whole expedition brought back to Gubat. The plate is now in the Museum of the Royal Naval College, Greenwich, having been cut out and sent home some fifteen years later by Lord Kitchener. In his official report, Lord Charles Beresford stated: "Too much credit cannot be given to this officer." Lord Charles Beresford, in his Memoirs, writes: "He ought to have received the VC, but owing to the fact that I did not know that the decoration could be granted for a service of this nature, I did not, to my great regret, recommend him for that honour." On the return to Korti, Mr Benbow was specially complimented on parade for his skill and bravery by Lord Wolseley, who presented him with his cigarette-case. Sent to England shortly after to prepare special light-draft steamers. Specially mentioned by Lord Wolseley in Despatches; received the Medal and clasp, and Khedive's Bronze Star.
	On the discussion of the Naval Estimates in the House of Commons in 1885, Lord (then Sir Thomas) Brassey, Secretary to the Admiralty, stated: "I particularly desire to place on record the services rendered by the Naval Engineer, Mr Benbow." Promoted to be Inspector of Machinery, "for gallantry in action during operations, in Egypt (Gazette, 13 June 1886); Chief Inspector of Machinery, 1888. He was created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order (London Gazette, 30 May 1891): "Henry Benbow, Chief Inspector of Machinery, Royal Navy." Insignia presented by the Queen, 17 August 1891. Sir Henry Benbow married, 1892, Elizabeth Jean, only daughter of Henry Bird, of Uxbridge, and their only child was a daughter, Muriel Caroline. He was created a KCB (Military), 26 June 1902. Sir Henry Benbow KCB, DSO, died 20 October 1916.
	Lord William Leslie de la Poer Beresford VC [KCIE 1894]
	Lord William was the second son of the 4th Marquess of Waterford. He joined the Army in 1867 as a cornet [equivalent to a second lieutenant] in the 9th Queen's Royal Lancers, serving for a time in India until the outbreak of the Zulu War in 1879, by which time he had reached the rank of Captain.
	Beresford won his Victoria Cross on 3 July 1879. His citation in the London Gazette (issue 24760, page 5395) reads:-
	For gallant conduct in having at great personal risk, during the retirement of the reconnoitring party across the "White Umvolosi River" on 3rd of July last [1879], turned to assist Sergeant Fitzmaurice, 1st Battalion, 24th Foot (whose horse had fallen with him), mounted him behind him on his horse, and brought him away in safety under the close fire of the Zulus who were in great force, and coming on quickly. Lord William Beresford's position was rendered most dangerous from the fact that Sergeant Fitzmaurice twice nearly pulled him from his horse.
	During this incident, Beresford had been assisted by Sergeant Edmund O'Toole of the Frontier Light Horse. Initially, only Beresford was awarded the VC, but at the investiture ceremony, Beresford, to his great credit, "explained to his Queen he could not in honour receive recognition of any services he had been able to perform, unless Sergeant O'Toole's services were also recognised, as he deserved infinitely greater credit than any that might attach to himself." As a result, O'Toole was also awarded the VC, his citation (London Gazette, issue 24769, page 5830) reading:-
	For his conspicuous courage and bravery on several occasions during the campaign, and especially for his conduct on the 3rd of July, 1879, at the close of the reconnaissance before Ulundi, in assisting to rescue Sergeant Fitzmaurice, 1st Battalion, 24th Mounted Infantry, whose horse fell and rolled on him, as the troops retired before great numbers of the enemy. When lifted up behind him by Lord William Beresford, the man, being half stunned by the fall, could not hold on, and he must have been left had not Sergeant O'Toole, who was keeping back the advancing Zulus, given up his carbine and assisted to hold Sergeant Fitzmaurice on the horse. At the time the Zulus were rapidly closing on them, and there was no armed man between them and Sergeant O'Toole.
	Sir George Corrie Bird [KCIE 1898]
	When Sir George Corrie Bird died in December 1907, The Times of 21 December 1907 contained the following obituary:-
	The death at Boulogne-sur-Mer yesterday of General Sir G. Corrie Bird, K.C.I.E., C.B., removes another name from the list of general officers who took a prominent part in the fighting on the Indian frontiers towards the close of the last century. The son of a Madras civilian, the late general was born in 1838, and entered the Madras Army a few months previous to the outbreak of the Sepoy revolt in 1857. Consequently he saw active service at the very outset of his military career. During this momentous period he served on the staff of [Robert] Walpole's movable column in Canara, and received the Mutiny medal. His regiment was the 35th N[ative] I[nfantry], afterwards the 35th Madras Infantry, and until he was promoted a major he was content with regimental duty. At the outbreak of the Afghan War, however, his chance came, and he went to the front as brigade major of the Cavalry Brigade with the Guzni Field Force. During this tour of active service Sir George Bird was present at the actions of Ahmed Khel [19 April 1880] and Patkao Shana [1 July 1880]. He was mentioned in despatches, received the medal and clasps, a brevet lieutenant-colonelcy, and emerged from the campaign a marked man. At the close of his regimental career, he was, in 1891, appointed A.A.G., Madras, which appointment he held for two years. It included operations in Burma and another medal. From 1893 to November, 1894, he was a colonel on the Staff, Madras, until he was promoted brigadier-general. The general commanded the Oudh District in 1895‑96, and the Punjab Frontier Force 1897‑98. During this latter period he undertook the operations in the Tochi Valley, when his services were acknowledged by her Majesty's Government. He had received his C.B. in 1889, and he was made a K.C.I.E. in 1898. He was promoted general in 1900, and transferred to the Unemployed Supernumerary List in 1904.
	An exemplary record, one might think. Unfortunately it was somewhat tarnished in the last year of his life. The Adelaide Advertiser, in its issue for 6 August 1907, reported that:-
	General Sir George Corrie Bird, C.B., K.C.I.E, was charged at Lambeth Police Court on Saturday with converting to his own use £114 belonging to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Families' Association. A detective said that when the warrant was read to him the general replied, "I thought the solicitors could arrange a settlement." The general was a bankrupt, but not in connection with the present case.
	In answer to the magistrate Sir George Bird said civil proceedings had been brought for the recovery of the money, and judgment was obtained against him. A police sergeant stated that there was no objection to bail if it was substantial. "A summons was issued, but we were unable to serve it," he added, "and a warrant was then granted. Sir George was caught going to a post-office for letters. He has not disclosed his address." "As civil proceedings were actually taken to recover the money, and judgment was obtained," said the magistrate, "I shall accept bail - one surety in £50 - for his appearance here this day week."
	General Corrie Bird, who has had a most distinguished military career, lost his arm in the service of his country. He received a commission in the Indian army two years before the mutiny, and his age now is nearly 70. In the mutiny he served with much distinction, and received a special medal and commendation. Ten [twenty?] years later, in the Afghanistan campaign, he was "mentioned in despatches," and was awarded medals and bars for service in Burma and on the North-West Frontier. As major-general he commanded the Oudh district, and later the Punjab Frontier Force. Three years ago, like many other Indian army officers, he was placed on the "unemployed supernumerary" list. At his examination in February at the London Bankruptcy Court General Sir George Corrie Bird gave his liabilities as £15,163, with a deficiency of £12,803. He declared he had been in receipt of retired pay and allowances amounting to £1,050 net since 1899. Under examination he declared his difficulties to be due to "unjustifiable extravagance in my youth," and said some of his debts were 30 years old. The General declared he had lost nearly £3,000 because of the Indian rate of exchange in remitting money home, and that he had lost over £2,000 by endorsing bills for an unsuccessful electrical inventor.
	The charge against Sir George was subsequently withdrawn after the Soldiers' and Sailors' Families' Association refused to press charges on the basis that, had they known of his financial difficulties, they would not have prosecuted him in the first place.
	Sir Basil Phillott Blackett [KCB 1921 and KCSI 1926]
	Blackett was a British civil servant in the Treasury Department in the United Kingdom and India, and subsequently an expert in international finance. While on his way to give a lecture in Germany in August 1935, he was killed when the car in which he was travelling was struck by a train. His death was reported in The Times on 16 August 1935:-
	Sir Basil Blackett died at Marburg hospital this afternoon from injuries he received at midday at a level-crossing near the village of Allendorf, in Upper Hesse. His motor-car was struck by a goods train. He was accompanied by a friend, Fräulein Eisenträger, who is 60 years of age and a teacher of languages, and was on his way to Heidelberg, where he was to have given a lecture at the University to‑morrow on "Problems of English Economy."
	The main road was blocked on account of repairs, and Sir Basil Blackett, in making a detour, drove his car along a narrow track through meadows and fields. Evidently he failed to hear the warning whistle and bell of a goods train approaching him from the rear on a branch railway line, and his car was caught broadside on a level-crossing which has no barriers, but only warning signs erected at the approaches to it. The car, according to the report of a local doctor who rendered first aid, was lifted up on to the buffers of the engine and carried in that position for about 200 yards.
	Sir Basil Blackett and his companion were immediately removed to the hospital at Marburg. Sir Basil was dying when he arrived there owing to severe internal injuries. His pulse was extremely weak, and he was able to utter only a few inarticulate words. He died about three hours later. Fräulein Eisenträger is lying in a critical condition.
	In view of Sir Basil Blackett's death the foreign section of Heidelberg University has cancelled a festivity which was to have taken place to-morrow night. There will be a mourning ceremony in the University at 9 o'clock.
	Sir Peter James Blake [KBE 1995]
	Sir Peter Blake was arguably the greatest yachtsman in history. He twice won the America's Cup for his native New Zealand, where he was considered to be a national hero. He also held, together with [Sir] Robin Knox‑Johnston, the Jules Verne Trophy which is awarded for the fastest circumnavigation of the world by any type of yacht, and won the 1989‑1990 Whitbread Round the World Race.
	Sir Peter was murdered by river pirates in the Amazon delta in 2001. The following report appeared in the Guardian of 6 December 2001:-
	Sir Peter Blake, the world's most famous sailor, who went further and faster then anyone before, was yesterday shot and killed by a group of armed pirates known as "the water rats" in a night-time robbery on his boat in the Brazilian Amazon. Blake, aged 53, had returned from dinner with his crew in Macapa, a remote city on the northern bank of the Amazon delta, when a gang of up to eight men arrived at his boat by rubber dinghy. When the gang, wearing motorcycle helmets, made their demands, Blake reached for his gun and shot one of them, according to Brazilian police. In retaliation the robbers opened fire. Blake died from gunshot wounds. Two other members of the crew were injured.
	It was a tragic end for a man who dominated the world of sailing for more than a decade, twice securing the America's Cup - the sport's most prestigious trophy - for his native New Zealand. Blake was also the only man to complete five Whitbread Round the World races, finally winning in 1990 when, uniquely, he finished first in all six legs.
	He was a New Zealand hero and everyone will feel a great sense of sadness at his death," Paul East, New Zealand's high commissioner in London, said.
	Last night, as tributes continued to pour in from around the world for the man whose other great love was the environment, the New Zealand ambassador in Brazil arrived in Macapa. Brazilian police said the robbers took a watch and the boat's motor. No one has been arrested.
	Blake, who was appointed in July as a goodwill ambassador of the United Nation's environment programme, was on a research expedition - sponsored by Omega - that was progressing up the River Amazon. He arrived in Rio de Janeiro on September 12 and headed north up the Brazilian coast. He reached Belem, where the Amazon meets the Atlantic Ocean, on October 2. The crew was planning to sail upstream and reach Venezuela at the beginning of February. Blake was travelling with 14 crew, including his daughter Sarah Jane. Nine people were on board the Seamaster yacht when the attack happened, just after 10pm on Wednesday.
	The riverside near Macapa is well known for its violence, said a man in the city who did not want to be named. "Blake was badly advised to anchor there," he said. "The police definitely know who did it, but they will only catch them if there is enough international pressure."
	Blake arrived in Macapa away from the eyes of the local media. "There is no way the pirates knew who he was. For them he was just another tourist with a large boat."
	While on his Amazonian journey Blake kept a log on his website. The last entry was written on Wednesday, the day he died. "Status: still motoring. Conditions: pleasant," he wrote. "Dusk has turned the surface of the river into a greasy grey, with the sky quickly darkening after the sun's oranges and golds have gone." "Again, I raise the question: why are we here? Our aim is to begin to understand the reasons why we must all start appreciating what we have before it is too late. We want to restart people caring for the environment as it must be cared for. We want to make a difference."
	Blake, who had started to sail aged five, had achieved what he set out to do in the sport - everything. His domination was a hallmark of his application, persistence and overriding passion for the job in hand. The yacht in which he finally won the Whitbread, Steinlager 2, was built to the limits of the rule for that race. It incorporated his and designer Bruce Farr's thinking and gave him a psychological as well as physical advantage over his rivals. In those days (1989/90), the race was scored on cumulative time and at the end of the first leg, from Southampton to Punta del Este in Uruguay, Blake had such a commanding lead that he need only sail the rest of the race conservatively to be sure of overall victory.
	Buoyed by that success, Blake was sought by Sir Michael Fay to instil a spirit of teamwork into his America's Cup campaign for New Zealand in 1992. He was devastated by the failure of this campaign, and when Fay stood down Blake picked up the gauntlet, mortgaging his house to pay the $75,000 deposit for a challenge in 1995. At the time he had no support, but he had always had strong backers in his home country and financial leaders provided most of the money needed.
	He had, by then, captured the Jules Verne Trophy for the fastest sailing circumnavigation with co-skipper Robin Knox‑Johnston aboard the 92-foot catamaran Enza ["Eat New Zealand Apples"]. His "lucky red socks" - knitted for him by his wife Pippa - became an icon. 500,000 pairs were sold in New Zealand, with half a million dollars helping the challenge fund.
	Black Magic, with Blake as skipper, lost only two races in the challenger trials and went on to win the cup in straight races. He received a knighthood, and managed the successful defence of the Cup in 2000, again winning in five straight races. He had earlier become head of the Jacques Cousteau Foundation. Blake took the foundation's specially designed boat and set off on scientific exploration in Antarctic waters twice before opting for further scientific research up the Amazon.
	Sir Thomas Blatherwick [KCB 1949]
	Sir Thomas's death was reported in the Manchester Guardian on 13 June 1950:-
	Colonel Sir Thomas Blatherwick, chairman of the East Lancashire Territorial Army and Air Force Association, was the victim of a fatal motor accident last night at Millington, Cheshire. He was driving along the main Chester road, near Bucklow Hill, on his way home from the England and West Indies cricket match, when his car collided with a lorry travelling in the opposite direction. Sir Thomas was alone in the car, and was dead on arrival at Altrincham General Hospital.
	The report below of the inquest into his death appeared in the Manchester Guardian on 16 June 1950:-
	A verdict of accidental death was returned at the inquest yesterday on Colonel Sir Thomas Blatherwick, chairman of the East Lancashire Territorial Army and Air Force Association, who was killed on Monday when his car collided with a lorry.
	Sir Thomas, who was 62, was returning to his home in Leigh Road, Knutsford, from the England and West Indies cricket match when the accident occurred on the Chester Road near Bucklow Hill. The Coroner, addressing the jury, said he attached no blame to the driver of the lorry. Sir Thomas was driving home with the sun blazing down on his car and apparently dozed off. There was no evidence that he was a careless driver.
	The lorry driver, Bernard Francis Webber, of Mona Street, Manchester, said the car overtook some cyclists and then swerved across the road. "I could only see the top of the driver's head," he said, "it was slumped forward on his chest. I pulled up because an accident was inevitable."
	An A.A. patrol said that in recent months he had often seen Sir Thomas asleep at the wheel of his car when it was parked at the side of the road. Mr. Edmund Lewers, of Knutsford, a friend, said Sir Thomas would often fall asleep for a moment during a conversation.
	Sir Edward Augustus Bond [nominated KCB 1898]
	Bond's name was included in a listing of new knights, effective from 1 January 1898, shown in the London Gazette of 14 January 1898 (issue 26929, page 241). Unfortunately, he died on 2 January. His widow was later granted the style of a knight's widow by a notice in the Gazette on 6 May 1898 (issue 26964, page 2820):-
	The Queen has been pleased to ordain and declare that Caroline Frances Bond, Widow of Edward Augustus Bond, Esq., C.B., late Principal Librarian of the British Museum, shall have, hold and enjoy the same style, title, place and precedence to which she would have been entitled had her husband survived to be invested with the Insignia of a Knight Commander of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath; Her Majesty's pleasure in regard to this promotion in the said Order having been notified in the London Gazette of Friday, the 14th January, 1898.
	Sir Henry Roland Murray Bourne [KBE 1918]
	The following report is taken from the Dundee Courier and Advertiser of 10 June 1931:-
	Sir Henry Roland Murray Bourne, a retired civil servant, was found shot dead in his bath at his flat in Grove End Road, St. John's Wood, London. The tragedy was not revealed till the inquest at Paddington yesterday. A verdict of suicide while of unsound mind was recorded.
	A police constable said that Sir Henry was sitting in the bath in is pyjamas. There was a revolver in his right hand. Mrs. Christobel Hopton, a sister, said that her brother had been depressed following an attack of influenza in April. He was also worried because he was lonely and had nothing to do. He lived alone in his flat.
	Winifred Dundervale, of Pembridge Villas, Bayswater, said she was engaged to Sir Henry. They were to have been married in July. She last saw Sir Henry at Eastbourne on Sunday. He then appeared to be fairly well, although she knew that [he] had had insomnia for the last few months.
	Coroner - Was there any financial trouble? Miss Dundervale - He had an overdraft at the bank, and I think that worried him. Coroner - Was there anything in the nature of a quarrel? - No. Miss Dundervale said that Sir Henry left her at Eastbourne on Sunday night he did not say when he would see her again.
	Sir Bernard Spilsbury, who made a post-mortem examination, said death was caused by a gunshot wound. A bullet had entered the mouth, fracturing the skull.
	The Coroner said that Sir Henry had overdrawn at his bank, but it was not of a serious nature. He believed that Sir Henry was contemplating marriage for the third time, and had seen his fiancée only the day before the tragedy. "I think he was suffering from post-influenzial depression," said the Coroner, "and in a moment of intense depression he yielded to a sudden impulse to take his life."
	Sir Henry Bourne was [nearly] 57 years old. He went to Radley School and New College, Oxford, before joining the Royal Scots in 1896. After serving in the South African War he remained in the country and became a friend of General Smuts. He became Under Secretary in the Colonial Secretary's office in the Transvaal in 1905, and five years later was appointed Under Secretary in the Union Department of the Interior. From 1912 to 1922 [he} was Under Secretary and Secretary in the Defence Department of the Union.
	Sir William Henry Bragg [KBE 1920] and Sir (William) Lawrence Bragg [Kt Bach 1941]
	The following biography of Sir William Henry Bragg appeared in the April 1964 issue of the monthly Australian magazine Parade. Sir Lawrence Bragg was the first Australian-born winner of a Nobel Prize, and was also, at age 25, the youngest winner of a Nobel Prize until 2014, when 17-year-old Malala Yousafzai was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
	Lawrence Bragg, five-year-old son of Professor William Bragg of Adelaide University, injured his elbow one day in 1896. A doctor was called to the house, but he could not decide whether there were any bones broken. The professor took him to the basement. There the problem would be solved. Professor Bragg had set up a primitive X-ray machine modelled on the discovery announced a few weeks before by Dr. Roentgen, of Warzburg. The doctor was fascinated by the crude apparatus. Its big induction coil buzzed loudly, electric sparks crackled and the vacuum tube emitted a weird green glow. The result was an X-ray photograph clearly showing the extent and location of the injury to the boy's arm. This was the first recorded surgical use of the Roentgen Ray, as it was then called, in Australia. Bragg's demonstration silenced many sceptics who had asserted that the German scientist was either deceiving himself or trying to deceive others.
	The discovery of X-rays had been greeted with a chorus of ill-informed criticism all over the world. Clergymen protested against what they called the revolting indecency of the invention. In the belief that Peeping Toms armed with Dr. Roentgen's machine would prowl the suburbs peering through brick walls, some extremists demanded the ray be outlawed and the inventor's written works on the subject burnt. One London firm of outfitters advertised ray-proof underwear, and the State of New Jersey, USA, introduced urgent legislation to prevent opera glasses being fitted with x-rays and used for long-distance invasions of privacy.
	In Adelaide, however, Professor Bragg was so interested that he immediately built a machine of his own. It was the turning point in his life - and his son's. Twenty years later William and Lawrence Bragg stood before the King of Sweden to receive the Nobel Prize for their researches into the effect of x-rays on crystalline substances.
	A slow starter in the field of scientific research, William Henry Bragg was born in Westmorland in 1862. His father, a captain in a shipping line, gave up the sea to go on the land. But farming in the Lakes District [sic] proved so unprofitable that although William Bragg was the star pupil at the village school, his parents could not afford to give him a higher education. A prosperous uncle stepped into the breach and offered to pay his fees. As it turned out, the gesture cost him little for the boy soon won a scholarship to King William's College in the Isle of Man. There he concentrated so much on mathematics that it was rumoured he knew nothing else.
	At that time a knowledge of Latin was regarded as a must for everyone with any pretensions to education. Bragg was no Latinist. It was still a mystery to him when he sat for a Cambridge University scholarship. But his exceptional brilliance at mathematics pulled him through. He was timid and perpetually out of funds and could not afford the social diversions which sugared the pill of learning for many Cambridge undergraduates of the time. On the other hand, he applied himself to his favourite subject with such intensity that when he graduated in 1885 he was regarded as the foremost mathematician in the university.
	Just as he was pondering his next move, a friend showed him an advertisement in the London Times. Adelaide University wanted a professor of mathematics and physics at the then immense salary of £800 a year. Bragg believed he had no chance. He said no university would appoint an inexperienced man of 23 to a professorial chair. Moreover, he had no knowledge of physics and, to add to his pessimism, applications closed that day. At this his friend pointed out that as applications had to be lodged with the SA Agent-General in London, it was not too late to send a telegram.
	Having sent the telegram, Bragg dismissed the matter from his mind. Shortly afterwards he was asked to call at the office of the Agent-General, Sir Arthur Blyth, for an interview. Another candidate, older than Bragg and with more impressive qualifications, received the same summons. But he got roaring drunk before the interview. This left the field to the 23-year old graduate, who was interviewed by the Agent-General as well as the noted physicist J.J. (afterwards Sir Joseph) Thompson and Sir Charles Todd, the SA Government astronomer of overland telegraph fame. For some inexplicable reason, they ignored Bragg's comparative ignorance of physics and gave him the appointment. In a few weeks he was on his way to Adelaide accompanied by all the books on physics he could cram into his luggage.
	As it turned out, he need not have worried. The Adelaide University had been founded only 10 years before and was still in its infancy. There were very few physics students so Bragg had no difficulty in keeping a lecture or two ahead of them. Soon he found he had become more interested in physics than mathematics. He proved to be the ideal choice. Rapidly developing into a teacher of exceptional skill, he had the faculty of reducing the most abstruse proposition to relatively simple terms. No gift could have been more useful. At that time, science was the Cinderella of the South Australian secondary schools and many students came to the university with only the haziest ideas of the subject. Once Bragg asked a student if he knew how the latitude and longitude of a place could be determined. The student replied that it could be done by means of a mariner's compass. When the surprised professor inquired how such an instrument could be used for the purpose, the student shook his head: "Hanged if I know, sir," he said frankly, "I'll have to leave that to you."
	Under constant pressure from Bragg, the standard of teaching in secondary schools rapidly rose. He became a force outside the university as well as within. His own personality, which had been cramped by the narrow atmosphere in which he had spent his boyhood, expanded in the genial climate of Adelaide. Until then he had never been able to find time for games. Now he not only became a proficient tennis player, but introduced lacrosse into Adelaide and captained a first grade team for some years. When he married the daughter of Sir Charles Todd it seemed as if he would remain a permanent fixture in Adelaide. Actually, his real career still lay ahead.
	In 1896, 12 years after his arrival in Adelaide, the change began. Stirred to action by Roentgen's startling discovery of X-rays, he resolved to investigate their properties. To do this required apparatus unobtainable in Australia. So Bragg improvised it himself. The greatest difficulty was making vacuum tubes to the specifications laid down by Sir William Crookes. The professor and his laboratory assistant tried blowing the tubes but they were never satisfactory. Luckily Bragg managed to obtain two vacuum tubes from England and used them to build the first X-ray apparatus made in Australia.
	He became more and more deeply involved in original research. A pioneer in the field of radio transmission, he erected the first wireless mast seen in Australia in 1898 and used it to establish communication between the Adelaide Observatory and Henley Beach [a coastal suburb of Adelaide]. In 1904 he turned his attention to radium. Five years later he established an international reputation as a physicist by a masterly address on the fundamental characteristics of the atom. Recognition came immediately. McGill University in Canada cabled him an invitation to become its first professor of theoretical physics. Bragg declined the offer. But in 1909 he reluctantly realised he would have to seek a wider sphere than Adelaide. He returned to England and joined the University of Leeds.
	Many people found it hard to understand how a man who had been practically unknown until middle age should suddenly leap to the front. But at 47 Bragg, who seemed to have been storing up energy for years, went from triumph to triumph. His invention of the X-ray spectrometer, used to analyse the structure of crystals and the arrangement of atoms, opened up new vistas. In 1913 he was joined by his 23-year-old Adelaide-born son. They made perhaps the most distinguished father-and-son team in the history of scientific research. In 1915 they were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics. Through World War I they worked on the detection of submarines and the locating of enemy guns by means of sound waves. Knighted in 1920, the former Adelaide professor was now one of the best known men in the world of science. It was Bragg who first demonstrated that one atom could pass through another without a collision, and his investigation into the function of crystals was of inestimable economic value in the creation of new alloys.
	Despite his work as director of the Royal Institution of Science, the professor never lost his interest in teaching. He was one of the few savants who could address a gathering of international physicists on one day and hold an audience of children spellbound the next. For years his lectures to boys and girls at the Royal Institution were important features of the Christmas holidays.
	In 1931 he achieved the greatest distinction possible when he was made one of the 24 members of the highly exclusive Order of Merit. Sir William Bragg was 79 when he died in 1942. By then his son had also been knighted [in 1941].
	Sir Harry Samuel Bickerton Brindley [nominated KBE 1920]
	Brindley was nominated KBE, effective from 1 January 1920, in the London Gazette of 26 March 1920 (issue 31840, page 3757). He died on 28 March 1920, before he could receive the accolade. His widow was later granted the style of a knight's widow by a notice in the London Gazette on 1 June 1920 (issue 31924, page 6044):-
	The King has been pleased, by Warrant under the Royal Sign Manual, bearing date the 19th instant, to ordain and declare that Violet Mary Brindley, widow of Harry Samuel Bickerton Brindley, Esq., Associate Member of the Institutions of Civil and Mechanical Engineers, shall have, hold and enjoy the style, title, place and precedence to which she would have been entitled had her husband survived to be invested with the Insignia of a Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
	Sir Harry Vesey Brooke [KBE 1920]
	The following article, which was published on the death of Sir Harry, has been edited from a report in the Aberdeen Daily Journal of 13 June 1921. It describes how Sir Harry received the accolade whilst ill in bed.
	We regret to announce the death of Sir Harry V. Brooke, K.B.E., of Fairley, Aberdeen, which took place at his residence there early on Saturday morning.
	Sir Harry, who was in his 76th year, had been in somewhat indifferent health for some time. The war, despite his splendid spirit amid bereavements that made the record of the family tragic yet glorious, left its mark upon him, but he was wonderfully vigorous for a man who had passed the allotted span. A somewhat serious accident three years ago necessitated a long stay in the south of England. It was in March, 1920, while he was staying in London, that the King created him a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire for services in connection with the war. Captain Brooke, as he then was, had contracted a chill the day before the Court which he was to attend for investiture, but his Majesty, with characteristic solicitude, dispensed with the ceremony in his case, and deputed Brigadier-General Sir Douglas Dawson, of the Lord Chamberlain's Department, to present the Captain with the insignia and Royal warrant. These Captain Brooke received in bed. It was a touching incident. The signal honour and the gracious manner in which it was conferred gave the liveliest satisfaction in and around Aberdeen, where for quite forty years Sir Harry had been an outstanding personality. On returning north he was able to move about with some measure of his accustomed freedom, and even when increasing frailty manifested itself his natural vivacity of spirits never deserted him.
	Sir George Brown [gazetted KCMG 1879, but refused the honour]
	The name "George Brown, Esq., Member of the Senate of the Dominion of Canada" appears in a list of appointments of Knights Commanders of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George published in a Supplement to the London Gazette [issue 24726, page 3597], such appointments dating from 24 May 1879. There appears to be no doubt, however, that Brown refused to accept the knighthood. In his entry in The Canadian Dictionary of Biography, it is stated that Brown "was a man ​ who refused the lieutenant governorship of Ontario in 1875 and a knighthood in 1879." Similarly, his entry in the Dictionary of National Biography states that "on 24 May 1879, he was gazetted K.C.M.G., but refused the honour."
	Brown was born in Alloa, Clackmannanshire in Scotland. His family migrated to New York in 1837 and six years later to Toronto in Canada where he founded the Globe newspaper in 1844. In time the Globe became Canada's most powerful and influential newspaper. He was also active in politics, being one of the "Fathers of Confederation."
	George Bennett was employed by the Globe between 1875 and 1880, by which time he was the night engineer in the boiler room. Bennett had a history of drunkenness and domestic abuse, and had on several occasions been reprimanded by his immediate superior, James Banks, the chief engineer of the Globe. On the night of 4 February 1880, Bennett was found to be drunk on duty, an offence for which he was dismissed the next day. Over the next seven weeks he made several attempts at reinstatement, but in vain.
	On 25 March 1880, Bennett again went to the office of the Globe. After roaming around the office in a drunken state, a little after 4 o'clock in the afternoon he went to George Brown's office, to ask him to sign a statement that he (Bennett) had been employed by the Globe during the previous five years. Brown refused to sign such a statement, and referred Bennett to either Banks or the Globe's treasurer, either of whom would have better information as to the details of his employment history. An argument ensued, and suddenly Bennett produced a gun. Brown grappled with Bennett, trying to seize the weapon, but in the scuffle the gun was fired and a bullet struck Brown in his thigh.
	The wound appeared to be only a flesh wound, and Brown was expected to recover from his injury, but, as the weeks passed, Brown's condition worsened. By late April, gangrene had set in and was spreading. His medical advisers were unable to halt the progress of the gangrene, and Brown slipped into a coma before dying on 9 May 1880.
	At the subsequent inquest, Bennett was found to have been responsible for Brown's death, and was, as a result, charged with murder. He was tried on 23 June 1880, found guilty and sentenced to death. Bennett was hanged in Toronto Gaol on 23 July 1880.
	Sir Samuel James Browne VC [KCSI 1876, KCB 1879 and GCB 1891]
	Browne, a cavalry officer in the British Indian Army, was awarded the Victoria Cross for his action during the Indian Mutiny, His citation in the London Gazette (issue 22485, page 1007) reads:-
	For having at Seerporah, in an engagement with the Rebel Forces under Khan Allie Khan, on the 31st of August, 1858, whilst advancing upon the Enemy's position, at day break, pushed on with one orderly Sowar [mounted escort or guard] upon a nine-pounder gun that was commanding one of the approaches to the enemy's position, and attacked the gunners, thereby preventing them from re-loading, and firing upon the Infantry, who were advancing to the attack. In doing this, a personal conflict ensued, in which Captain, now Lieutenant-Colonel, Samuel James Browne, Commandant of the 2nd Punjab Cavalry, received a severe sword-cut wound on the left knee, and shortly afterwards another sword-cut wound, which severed the left arm at the shoulder, not, however, before Lieutenant-Colonel Browne had succeeded in cutting down one of his assailants. The gun was prevented from being re-loaded, and was eventually captured by the Infantry, and th gunner slain.
	Browne gave his name to the widely-used "Sam Browne belt", which he designed and wore after he had lost his left arm. A Sam Browne belt is a wide belt, most often made of leather, which is supported by a narrow strap passing over the right shoulder in such a way as to stabilize the scabbard of any sword that is worn. This arrangement is also very useful in stabilizing other equipment such as pistols and binoculars. During the second Boer War, the belt was widely copied and soon became standard issue to not only English troops, but the troops (and police forces) of many nations.
	Sir David Bruce [Kt Bach 1908 and KCB 1918]
	The following biography of Sir David Bruce appeared in the July 1957 issue of the Australian monthly magazine Parade:-
	A tall Scot, Melbourne born, followed by a plump, pleasant-faced woman, plodded into a native village on Buvuma Island, Lake Victoria, Uganda, early in 1903. Instead of the usual bustle they were met with an eerie calm. The village was deserted save for half a dozen corpses and a man or two in the last tremors that preceded death. Lieut.-Col. David Bruce and his wife had reached the climax of their search which had as its goal the conquest of a sleeping death that claimed 200,000 of the 300,000 natives of Uganda and was already threatening the rest of central Africa. David Bruce beat the sleeping sickness. By doing so he made the heart of a vast, rich continent fit, at last, for man to live in. Lt.-Col., later General, Sir David Bruce was one of the first and greatest in the science of pathology. His discovery of the cause of sickness saved a race from annihilation.
	David Bruce was born in Melbourne on May 29, 1855, a few years after his father, a Scottish engineer, arrived in the colony to set up a crushing plant on the Bendigo goldfields. The family returned to Scotland in 1860, settling in Stirling. David was duly launched on a commercial career in a Manchester warehouse. He rebelled, and at 21 quit the job he hated. Since boyhood in Australia, David Bruce had been fascinated by wild-life, particularly birds. He decided to study zoology at Edinburgh University, A friend persuaded him to switch to medicine. Five years later, he graduated a doctor.
	David Bruce's first job was as assistant to a medico at Reigate. There he married, in 1883, Mary Elizabeth Stone, a doctor's daughter. Soon after his marriage, Bruce was commissioned in the Army Medical Service. The following year he was ordered to Malta, where he arrived with his wife to find the naval and military hospitals crowded with servicemen stricken by a mysterious ailment known as Malta disease [now known as brucellosis]. Many were dying. Others were bed‑ridden for months, Bruce was an exponent of the comparatively new science of bacteriology. While many of his colleagues laughed at such new-fangled notions, he worked late into the night studying the organs of Malta disease victims under a microscope. Only his wife had complete faith in him. She stayed by his side, encouraging him to work on and recording his findings. Two years later Bruce announced that Malta fever was caused by a new organism which he found in the spleen of victims.
	His work on Malta disease was continued by his aides when he was posted suddenly to South Africa. The authorities there were much perturbed by a strange disease known as Nagana which was killing off thousands of head of cattle in northern Zululand and reducing natives to poverty and want. In December, 1896, Bruce and his wife set out by ox waggon for the hinterland to solve the mystery of the cattle disease. They camped on the veldt, slept in native huts, lived off the land by their rifles, shooting for food some of the many varieties of antelope. Everywhere they went they checked on the strange disease that was wiping out the native herds. Within two months, Bruce, through his microscope, knew the cause, an organic parasite he called trypanosoma. He noticed also that the disease flared to a peak in a belt of low country not fully explored. Into this he and his wife plunged in defiance of wild beasts, hacking their way through jungle and dragging themselves through snake-ridden swamps. As they pressed on they noticed more and more of the stinging fly known as tsetse.
	Bruce caught and examined hundreds of tsetse flies under his microscope. He sent natives to drive healthy cattle into the fly country. Back at his camp he watched them slowly lose condition and die a lingering death. Slowly, painstakingly, Bruce collated his findings. After two years, he announced that the "plague" was carried to cattle by the tsetse fly, which drew the parasite from wild animals. It was impractical to attempt to wipe out the flies. On Bruce's advice the natives were ordered to drive their herds from the fly belt in a great exodus and the dreaded Nagana vanished. For this work on the tsetse fly, Bruce was promoted to Major. Four years later he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, one of the greatest honours science can bestow.
	Bruce and his wife were still in Africa when the Boer War flared. They went with General French's force to clear the Boers from Elandslaagte and Laing's Neck. Under heavy fire they tended the wounded where they fell. Though French won his actions, the rest of the British campaign crumpled. British forces fell back fighting sullenly into Ladysmith, soon to be encircled by the enemy. One of the greatest sieges of the Boer War had begun.
	Bruce and his wife were in charge of the main military hospital, crammed with casualties from disastrous rearguard actions. Bruce rarely left the operating theatre. Day and night he performed near-miracles of surgery with inadequate outmoded equipment and rapidly dwindling drugs. Shells exploded round the hospital, some within 50 yards of where Bruce was operating. He worked on with steady hand, helped by his wife, who appointed herself sister-in-charge of the operating theatre. Food ran short. The soldiers killed off their horses. Meat was rigorously rationed. With the starvation diet, disease swept Ladysmith. Enteric fever and dysentery ran through the 22,000 soldiers and civilians cooped up in the little town. Men died at the rate of 10 a day. Hospital cases overflowed again when the famished garrison beat off a desperate Boer attempt to storm the city. In three months 8,000 men passed through Bruce's hospital. Garrison and civilians were at their last gasp when General Sir Redvers Buller, after four reverses, broke through to the relief of Ladysmith on February 8, 1900. For his heroic work Bruce was promoted Lieutenant-­Colonel and awarded a medal and seven clasps.
	Bruce was back in England when, in 1902, the Royal Society sent a Commission to Uganda to investigate sleeping sickness, which had wiped out more than 200,000 natives. The Commission made little progress till the Society appealed to the army. "Lend us Bruce," they said. In February, 1903, Bruce left England to take charge of the Sleeping Sickness Commission in Uganda. His wife and constant partner went with him. They had to travel through dense jungle to reach the Commission's camp near Lake Victoria. The Lake was the centre of the sleeping sickness region, which ravaged into the Congo Free State, the French Congo, the Sudan, the Portuguese possessions, and was threatening German East Africa, Rhodesia and the British Central African Protectorate. The disease struck with devastating force. Healthy natives changed to tired, physical wrecks who lay down hopelessly to die of sheer exhaustion. A member of the Commission, Lieutenant Tulloch, died of the disease. Others had been invalided home.
	When Bruce and his wife arrived, the remaining member of the original Commission, Dr. Aldo Castellani [1877‑1971, Hon KCMG 1928], reported he had found in some of the victims a species of trypanosoma. These were the parasites which Bruce had discovered killing off cattle in the lower tsetse belt. Bruce set out at once to find the origin and carrier of the parasite. Through the forests and swamps Bruce forged, seeking a Uganda variety of tsetse fly which he found round lake shores and islands. In the drive, he came across whole native villages deserted by their occupants. Among the huts he found the bodies of natives left to die by their families as the whole tribe fled the killing scourge. On Buvuma Island, he found that nearly 14,000 natives had died from the disease. The population of the southern part of Busoga province had been almost completely annihilated. In all, about 200,000 of the 300,000 natives of Uganda had fallen victim to the scourge. Most had died or were dying a slow, lingering death. The horror of it spurred Bruce to greater effort.
	By September, 1903, only six months after he arrived, he had sufficient facts to be certain that sleeping sickness was carried by the tsetse fly. He fought a brisk battle to convince the natives of the flying death. Then began another great exodus, as they left the villages by lake and marsh where the tsetse flourished, for higher ground where it could not live. In due course sleeping sickness vanished.
	There was no rest for Bruce when he returned to England in 1904. Though he had discovered the cause of Malta fever as far back as 1887, no one yet had traced the source of the parasite or a cure for the fever. The Royal Society sent Bruce to Malta to pick up the investigations where he had left off. For two years he checked all possible sources of infection without result. Then, almost casually, he asked one of his assistants, Dr. Zammit, to examine the blood of the island's goats. They found the goats were carrying the fever germs. When the British garrison on Malta stopped using the goat's milk, the fever disappeared.
	Bruce's brilliant work for humanity received Royal recognition in 1908, when he was knighted. In 1912, he was promoted Surgeon-General, with the rank of Major-General. When the Great War flared in 1914, Bruce was appointed commandant of the Royal Army Medical College, at Millbank. He chaired committees which investigated trench fever and tetanus, which were taking greater toll than enemy bullets. As a result of these investigations, trench fever and tetanus were greatly reduced among Allied troops.
	For these and other wartime scientific advances, Bruce was awarded the K.C.B. in 1918. His wife, who had laboured beside him throughout, received the O.B.E. Bruce retired in 1919, but still continued to help and advise the scientists of the world. When Lady Bruce died at their home in Artillery Mansions, Westminster, on November 23, 1931, her husband collapsed at the shock of losing her. He died four days later, at the age of 76, as her funeral service was being held in a church across the square.
	Rosa Gertrude, Lady Bruton, widow of Sir James Bruton [Kt Bach 1916]
	Lady Bruton died after her dressing gown caught on fire and caused extensive burns. The inquest into her death was reported in the Gloucester Citizen on 26 February 1937:-
	The inquest on Lady Rosa Gertrude Bruton (82), widow of the late Sir James Bruton of Wotton Hill Cottage, Gloucester, nine times Mayor of the City [Gloucester], was held at Bournemouth this afternoon. Lady Bruton died yesterday almost immediately after being burned at the Tollard Royal Hotel as the result of her dressing gown catching fire. A verdict of "Accidental death" was recorded, and it was made clear that members of the hotel staff were not to blame.
	The discovery of Lady Bruton with her clothes a mass of flames was described by a chambermaid, Miss Gladys Winifred Thresh, who said at 11.33 a.m. she heard Lady Bruton shout. "She was wearing a light dressing gown of silk and was shouting for help," said Miss Thresh. "I wrapped bed-clothes around her, and sand and oil were sent for. By the [that?] time the doctor had arrived and pronounced life extinct."
	The hall porter, Harry Edward Brown, said he found Lady Bruton in flames from her feet to her hips. He wrapped her in blankets and sheets, but he was unable to make headway in smothering the flames. He obtained a bucket of water, but did not use it as by that time other assistance had arrived.
	Lady Bruton was on the landing some distance from her bedroom, and there was a portable electric fire in her room. Her son, Mr. Henry Michael Bruton, said she had been attended by a doctor for the past three years for blood pressure and a slight stroke. He last saw her alive at 10 a.m. yesterday when he switched a portable electric stove on in her bedroom.
	The manageress of the hotel, Miss Phyllis Ethel Woodcock, described how she tore off pieces of smouldering clothes, administered oil to the burns, and gave Lady Bruton some brandy. She died shortly afterwards. Lady Bruton, she said, had stayed in the hotel for more than three years, and was in the habit of using her portable electric fire in her bedroom. She thought Lady Bruton's dressing gown caught alight from her electric fire.
	Dr. Maitland Scott stated that about a year ago she had a slight stroke, and last week experienced an attack of gastric influenza from which she had just recovered. He saw Lady Bruton just before the accident when she appeared normal. The cause of death was heart failure due to shock, following extensive burns to the legs and back. There was also a large bruise on her forehead as if she had fallen.
	The Coroner, who sat without a jury, returned a verdict of accidental death, adding: "The only assumption is that her clothes caught fire from the electric stove. I think everything was done by those in the hotel that they could do, but owing to the weak state of her heart and her infirmity the shock was too much for her. There is no blame attached to anyone in the hotel."
