Eric Wilfrid Brown
Royal Navy HMS Nigeria
Eric Brown worked for my company as a freelancer from 1999 intil recently. Sadly he passed away suddenly in late November. I did not know unil the funeral that he had served on the ship (in fact he had never disclosed his real age or mentioned his wartime service!) and I would love to know if anyone remembers him. Apparently he was at Cambridge University and did not have to serve but volunteered anyway - I believe in some capacity in Gunnery.
Eric was a real gentleman and incredibly courteous. He is sadly missed by us all. He was working until the end and had an enviable social life!!
