MAY I add to Val Wilmer's obituary of my younger brother Aubrey Frank (29 June)? writes Burt Frank.
Aubrey was 13, and not 11, when our father died in 1934, and he did not assume early responsibility, as I was 19 at the time and remained at home until I married in 1947. Also, Aubrey became a member of the Savoy Junior Band before rather than after joining a junior band at Collins' Music Hall.
