Abstract
DR. GUY DUNSTAN BENGOUGH, whose name is particularly associated with research on the corrosion of metals, died in the East Sussex Hospital, St. Leonards, on January 20. He was born in 1876, the son of Major E. B. Bengough, and was educated at Malvern and at Selwyn College, Cambridge. He then studied metallurgy at the Royal School of Mines and worked for a short time at the Royal Mint, gaining experience in research under Sir William Roberts-Austen. He went to Burma for practical experience in the extraction of gold and tin ores, and then held teaching posts in the Universities of Birmingham and Liverpool.
