THE DEATH OF MR. A. L. T. BROWETT - Coventry Evening Telegraph - 10th July 1916
**********************************************************************************
The deepest regret will be felt throughout Coventry and the neighbourhood at the death of Captain A. L. T. Browett, who has been killed in action in France. The sad news was received this morning but beyond the official notification no particulars have come to hand.

The deceased was the only surviving son of Mr. William Thackall-Browett. He was married about four years ago to Miss Gladys Barton, the elder daughter of the late Mr. C. E. Barton, and the family consists of two little girls.

Captain Browett, who was educated at Rugby School, was a solicitor by profession and a partner in the firm of Messrs. Browett's, of this city. As an advocate, he was a familiar figure in the County and Police Courts, and resided at The Croft, in Keresley, Coventry. Deceased took an extremely active part in Corley Church matters, and besides being solely responsible for the formation and training of the choir, did other work for the church of a most helpful and appreciative kind.

Captain Browett belonged to the Second Seventh Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, and had been at the front only about two months. For a considerable time after the departure from Coventry of the early drafts of men belonging to the battalion, the deceased officer remained here in order to carry out a lot of valuable instructional work amongst the troops at the barracks. He resigned from the Territorials soon after his marriage, retiring with the rank of captain, but rejoined soon after the outbreak of war. He was a young officer of great promise, and enjoyed considerable popularity. The deepest sympathy will be felt with the members of the family in their sad and heavy bereavement.
