With all the excitement of the Olympic Games in Paris at the moment, we have been thinking about General Frederick Browning, known as Boy or Tommy.  He was married to Daphne du Maurier and lived at Menabilly when he was not called away from home, first by his military career and then by his work for the Royal Family.  He was an excellent sportsman and even took part in the Olympic Games.
