'A friend and school contemporary writes: " Frank Searle was loved by all who knew him, and was never known to say an unkind word about anyone. He had a fine character, a cheery nature, and was always ready to help those in need. A keen yachtsman, he would go sailing when no other yacht would dare venture out." He was Surgeon on H.M.S. Good Hope, which was lost with all hands in action off the Coast of Chile.' (Malvernian, Dec 1914).
