Christopher Braybrooke was born on March 25, 1928. His home of record is Boonton, NJ.
The following is the description next to his picture in his senior yearbook:
As editor-in-chief of the Wampus, and president of the National Honor Society, “Kit” has been one of our more versatile seniors. Mention his name, and students will marvel at his brilliance, his likableness, and his honesty, and his character. All this, plus “Kit’s” shy grin and unassuming manner, never fail to make us remark “You know, ‘Kit” certainly has what it takes!” He’s definitely a Navy man and is heading for Annapolis, so—Good Luck, “Kit.” Let Success and Happiness weather every stormy sea, and await you at the nearest port.
He enlisted in the US Air Force and attained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel (LTC).
Braybrooke was killed in action on October 8, 1967. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
