“Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?”
— Terry Pratchett (Going Postal (Discworld, #33; Moist von Lipwig, #1))
On the 11th November 2018, it seems fitting to remember the remaining Old Boys who fell.
William John Crofton Brown was a Wellington boy and an extremely talented musician. He would frequently return to School to play in various gatherings and functions. He was also very bright and a good sportsman. His death was brutal, like so many. His body was never found and he is Remembered with Honour on the Thiepval Memorial. Those who knew and loved him never forgot him; but his early death robbed the world of the wonderful music within him that he never got a chance to write. Nobody can know what we have missed out on.
