Sir – Victor Brown, whose death was reported in The Oxford Times (April 12), was originally a volunteer with 252 (City of Oxford) ITAA Battery RA, TA, which was being raised in late 1938.
He transferred to the OBLI somtimes after war was declared.
In recent years, Victor and I thought we might be the last two survivors of the pre-war Oxford Battery.
I could now be the last survivor, but there could be others and, if so, I would be pleased if they would “advance and be recognised”.
