Sir Boverton Redwood, Bart

Abstract

SCIENCE and the petroleum industry have ^ suffered a severe loss in the sudden death of Sir Boverton Redwood, Bart., which occurred at his residence, The Cloisters, Avenue Road, Regent's Park, on June 4. Despite his profound knowledge of the subject he had made his own, Sir Boverton Redwood will perhaps be best remembered by those of us who had the privilege of being associated with him in any of his numerous interests for the charm of his individual personality. The unique position he occupied in the petroleum world was doubtless in large measure due to this personal attraction, which, as chairman of committee, or as witness, or in mere friendly discussion, exerted an influence the value of which in giving expression to his views it would be difficult to over-estimate. His death leaves a blank which it is safe to say will never be completely filled.
