Maj. Magnus Brady

Admitted January 1859 · Foundation

Served in the Crimea, where he is recorded as having returned the quartermaster's indents corrected, under fire, "the requisition being no less a sentence for being urgent". The quartermaster's reply is not preserved; the corrected indents are.

Struck Off, August 1872. Reason: repeated assertion that Einstein failed mathematics at school.
