For cycling he donated, between 1901 and 1928, The Dewar Challenge Shield, a heavily-embossed solid-silver plaque depicting goddesses and with allusions to Scotland, together with a profile of a racing cyclist centrally-mounted. This example, which is a hollow-cast copy in brass, and mounted on a shaped wooden mount, is believed to have been given to the award recipient when the original shield had to be retuned annually. Unfortunately, the engraved lozenge, which would have been attached to the upper tablet, giving the name of the recipient and club, is missing. Originally it may have been silver-plated, otherwise it is in good condition. The height of the wooden shield is 16-inches (41cm). (1)

A Gaiety Girl appearing in 'The Girl on the Film' , when the son of the then worlds richest man Jay Gould USA fell for her. 5'.6" tall with a tremendous figure and attractive looks, he rushed backstage to meet her. Armed with flowers and a desire for her that was unstoppable, the romance began. Soon she was living in his townhouse on 74th Street, or at a 'Tudor Mansion' at Rye on the New York Coast. Another well known meeting place was on his moored yacht. It was not long before his then wife Edith, was told of the affair. Having lost her figure due to a strong liking for candy, she set about to lose some weight and win him back. A year after George was born, a sister Jane was born to himself and Guinevere. this to mutterings 'Another of Georges Bastards has been born'. Edith's attempts to lose weight knew no bounds, including Steam Baths, Golf every day on their private 9 hole course, also massages. One Sunday in November 1921, whilst playing golf with her husband she collapsed whilst teeing off on the 5th green.

Doctors pronounced her dead of a heart attack, beneath her clothing she was encased in a rubber suit. Described as being wrapped like a mummy. George now turned to Guinevere more than ever, they married in May of 1922 at Lakewood. Gossip followed them so they moved to first England, later to Scotland. They leased Castle Grant from the Earl of Seafield, fishing, shooting and playing golf. Within the year the holiday in France ended in tragedy, when George contracted and died of Pneumonia. His estate was originally set at $30 million dollars. He left his wishes for it to be split equally between his ten children. After a while his estate was set at $15 million dollars. It was further reduced to $5 million dollars. Soon the siblings were fighting for what was left. Law suits stating George and his two sisters were born out of wedlock, took their toll on the will of their Grandfather Jay Gould. Once considered the worlds richest man, law suits took their toll. Actions ran over four years, costing the then record $2.7 million dollars. After the settlement where they had reduced shares, Guinevere married the Viscount Dunsford, heir to the 1st Earl of Midleton, after his divorce from his wife Peggy. They moved to England and brought Eastwell Park in Kent, filling it with antiques and paintings. It was then decided George and his sisters, should take the name Brodrick (Midleton). George was entered into Eton where after arriving he excelled at most sports, filling the Mr Butterwicks House dining room sideboard with trophies. Described by Peter Carrington later Foreign Secretary, as an 'extraordinarily nice person, our No1 hero.' He later attended Trinity College Cambridge, arriving in a chauffeur driven new Bentley 4.2.litre sports. He payed an young gentleman to attend all the lectures, then provide him with comprehensive notes prior to his finals. He sailed through them! After graduating he joined the Irish Guards, serving in Egypt from late 1937. It was here he was commended for 'Gallant and distinguished conduct in operations against armed insurgents. When war broke out he was posted with his battalion to Norway, to eject the German Forces who had occupied Narvik. In May the battalion was embarked in the Polish vessel Chobry. On the 14th May Heinkels attacked and successfully bombed the ship, killing all the senior officers. The remaining 15 junior officers including Brodrick, to marshal the Guardsmen on to the Destroyer HMS Wolverine. In 16 minutes 694 officers and men were rescued. The Captain of the destroyer remarked later that the 'superb discipline of the Irish Guards' made the rescue possible. Transferred to the 3rd Battalion he was in 1945 awarded an MBE for his services, whilst on the staff of the Canadian 1st Army in N West Europe. He married Mhari nee Gourlay, in the Guards Chapel in 1940. After the war they settled at Eastwell and farmed some 3,000 acres. It was difficult after the Army having requisitioned it during the war. The put in a huge effort to get it running again, in returning the land to being productive.
