Commander G. F. N. Bradford who completes his two years in command of H.M.S. Falmouth this month is being succeeded by Commander C. C. Hardy who was last in China in 1928-29 as physical and recreational training officer, Commander Hardy until last month was Assistant Director, Physical Training and Sports and Secretary of the R.N. and RIN. Sports Control Board. He is now on his way out to China and is expected to arrive in Hongkong in the first week of October. Shanghai has a personal interest in the matter for Commander Bradford has managed to combine the admirable discharge of his duties in the Falmouth with the change of his civil condition, as the census reports term it, and in so doing acquired last year a bride in the person of one of Shanghai's best-known and most-liked young women, the former Miss Ethelwyn Spence. Commander and Mrs, Bradford will carry with them therefore many good wishes from Chifia on transfer to their next station.
