I was delighted to read in The examiner today of the Comissioning at Haulbowline yesterday of one (Now ensign) Michael Brunicardi. Michael is the son of former Lt Commander Daire Brunicardi,who retired in 1979 and now lectures in the Nautical Studies department of CIT, and is well known for his books on irish Naval History. Daire himself is the son of the Late Niall Brunicardi,who begun his career in the british army, but was recruited by the New Naval service as an Education Officer, tasked with training the fledgeling Naval services New officers.
Mike also has a bet on with his oulfella(a gentleman) that he will reach a higher rank than previously reached my his family.
I know Mike through friends/cousins etc,and I wish him all the best for the future.
Anyone else interesting get the bar and star yesterday????:D
