It is with great regret that we announced the death of the Brentwood 10

The Area Secretary Bryn Nathan posthumously presented his widow Pat with his

with distinction and was awarded a Fellowship in 1982. He assumed Life Membership
upon his 80th Birthday in June 2011.

He served as Governor of Corringham Hope in 1978/1979 and Grays in 1986/1987,
Secretary of Grays (1987/1988) and Brentwood (1991-2011), Treasurer of Grays (1985/1986)
and Brentwood (2010-2011), the Eastern Area as President (1984/1985), Membership Officer
(1978/1979), Councillor (1976-1978) and (2007-2009), Legion Liaison Officer (2008-2011),
Legion 26 Secretary and the Eastern District as Secretary (2004-2007)

Our thoughts are with his widow and family at this time.
