Biography

Canadian Brigadier Commander of the British Empire. He was a soldier, a diplomat, an author, editor, statistician and a sidereal astrologer, known and respected in his field. He was reputed to be Churchill's astrologer during WW II. Firebrace was also one of the first officers to interview Rudolf Hess and report his impressions of this odd and possibly quixotic captive who might have been astrologically impelled to Churchill.

Well known is astrological circles as an active leader-founder in connection with various UK astrological societies, he was the instigator along with Cyril Fagan of "Spica," one of first modern journal of sidereal astrology.

Firebrace died on 11/10/1974.
