1900 THE BRISCO ENDOWMENT
1900 saw a radical change in the fortunes of the BCF when the legacy in the will of Lt Colonel Hylton Brisco was released to the Charity five years after his death. Little is known of the life of the man who left half of his personal fortune to the BCF but the income from his endowment funded a large part of all the aid distributed in the 20th century.
