Frank Phillips Newsreader

I believe I am correct in stating that he was an Old Blue.

I stumbled across this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... files.html whilst searching for some information on another newsreader, Kenneth Kendall, who sadly passed away today.

Yes, he is listed on the CHA site. Mid B 1912-1917. From 1923 he was a professional singer and I suspect may have cut some vinyl

Frank Phillips appeared in "The Dede of Pittie" , written by Edmund Blunden, as the narrator, which was performed at the Fortune Theatre London as part of the quatercentenary celebrations in 1953.
