A RETIRED DOCTOR, Dr. Harrison Broadbent, of Middleton-by-Freshwater, Isle of Wight, who received a letter of appreciation from the Institution for the part he played in the gallant IRB rescue attempt at Scratchell's Bay on loth April, 1966, was nominated by the R.N.L.I. to attend the 'Men of the Year' luncheon at the Savoy Hotel, London. The selection of names is made by the British Council for Rehabilitation of the Disabled.

A full account of the rescue bid was described in the September issue of THE LIFE-BOAT, page 136..
