PS If anyone on-list has a Brangwyn interest, they might like to know of a handful of items from him in the Institute of Naval Medicine Historic Collections archive.
Conversely, if anyone with a Brangwyn collection has material on H. Cameron "Cam" Wright, I would be most interested to know.
Regards again,
