122 OBITUARIES his time to his family’s properties in the Middle East but in 1970 returned to Zurich due to the worsening political situation and threat of war in the Middle East. Rowland died on 21 February 2007. RICHARD (DICK) ADOLPHE CHARLES DU VIVIER (1931), father of C R DV (1958), was born in Courtrai (now Kortrijk) in the Flemish-speaking part of Belgium on 27 December 1911. Many generations of the Du Vivier family had lived in Belgium, but they held British nationality and clung to it doggedly. With the outbreak of war in 1914 Dick’s parents fled to the UK. They returned to Belgium in 1919, but their four sons (of whom Dick was the eldest) were all educated in Britain. After Malvern, Dick came up to King’s where he read History and Modern Languages and played a lot of sport. He then went into teaching, his first post being at Scarborough College. In Scarborough he met his wife Margaret and they were married in December 1936. In 1937 Dick moved to Dulwich College, where he stayed until the end of 1939: in January 1940 he was called up and posted to theWorcestershire Regiment.After training infantry recruits, Dick saw action in North Africa, Sicily and Italy before returning to the UK to prepare for the invasion of Normandy. He received an MBE for his war service. However, his hopes of returning to Dulwich College were dashed by the difficulty of finding anywhere to live in war-torn London. Dick decided to join the British Council and was posted to Liège, although cuts imposed in 1947 led to his post being scrapped. He was then sent to Bilbao, much to the annoyance of the then Council representative, as Dick could not speak any Spanish. This apparent failing was soon remedied. Postings to Uruguay, Manchester, London and Mexico City followed before Dick retired from the British Council in 1974, after being made a CBE. For the first five years of his retirement he went back to teaching as the French master at St Paul’s Cathedral Choir School. At this time the Headmaster was
Derek Sutton (1944), who remembered Dick for his linguistic ability, distinguished and elegant appearance and his keen interest in sport and many other aspects of school life. A notable contribution was the production of several successful plays in French. In subsequent years Dick was very active in veteran tennis, as both a player and an administrator. He won the over-65 singles in 1981 and the over-65 mixed doubles in 1987.A regular at the Hurlingham Club, which he regarded as his second home, Dick held the chairmanship of the Bridge Section, a post that made great demands on his tact and patience. In 1992 he was nominated as President of the British Council Retirement Association, a position he held until 1995 when ill health intervened. Dick died from cancer on 19 April 1998, survived by Margaret and three of his four children. ALASTAIR SINCLAIR DUNCAN (1943) coxed the Cambridge Eight in 1947. Born in Glasgow on 21 February 1925 and educated at Glasgow Academy, Alastair served with the Royal Navy from 1943 to 1946 before recommencing his History studies at King’s. From 1949 he spent five years as a merchant’s assistant in Burma, with Steel Bros, before becoming a sales representative for the Monroe Calculating Machine Company. He was later made Sales Manager. Alastair then became a life assurance broker and later a syndicate analyst for Lloyd’s. Alastair died on 4 August 1998. MAURICE GORDON EAGLE (1947) was born in Portsmouth in the summer of 1925. He served in the war effort, graduated from King’s with a degree in Classics, and continued on to a long and successful career with the Royal Insurance Company. A father of three and a loved member of his community, Maurice died on 24 April 2006 at the age of 80. Maurice was raised in Portsmouth and earned his place at Cambridge in 1943. However, instead of attending university immediately, he joined the Army General Service Corps in May of that year. He served in several units of the Royal Artillery in India, including the 494/130 Field Regiment. Maurice 123 OBITUARIES
