Autograph request
Postcard sent by Bray to Claude "Jock" Wise on 14th July 1913 asking for his autograph.
Claude ‘Jock’ Wise joined London [Rowing Club] in the autumn of 1905. He was a lightweight, winning the Wingfield Sculls in 1913 when he weighed 10 stone 1 pound, ‘an extraordinarily fine waterman and uses his head well. Wise’s performance was a brilliant one,’ said a contemporary report. He made twelve appearances in the Thames Cup. He rowed in the Grand and Wyfold in 1908 and again in 1920 and 1921. He contested the Diamonds in 1912 and 1913, but never won a Henley medal. He became the assistant secretary in 1912 and held continuous office until his death in 1971, being captain in 1920, vice-president in 1946 and president from 1951.
