Miller-Hallett winners |
|
Alexander Miller-Hallett (1856-1953) was a member of Salle Bertrand before and after World War I and was a vice-president of the AFA from 1930 until his death at the age of 97 in 1953. A major patron of fencing, he donated a silver cup for an international women's foil competition in 1913. This was known as the Alfred Hutton Memorial Challenge Cup and during World War II he sent it to the Red Cross Society to be melted down to help the war effort.
In 1928 he presented two more silver cups, one to the AFA - the Baptiste Bertrand Cup for a junior women's foil competition - and the other to Salle Bertrand - the Miller-Hallett Cup for an annual international epee competition. Until 1933 when the Miller-Hallett Cup was transferred to the AFA, he presented each winner with a replica to keep.
Also fanatical about cricket, for 10 years until 1946, was president of Sussex, and died at Brighton on 14 February 1953, aged 97. While he was watching cricket, nothing else mattered. Once during a wartime match at Hove a German aircraft dropped a bomb on the ground. Without moving from his seat, Miller-Hallett remarked to his neighbour: "Fancy disturbing our game like that!" |
