Brothers-in-arms among newest navy recruits

THERE was some friendly sibling rivalry in the ranks yesterday as “‘brothers-in-arms” were among 37 naval recruits who took part in a passing-out parade at Haulbowline.

Brendan Rogers, 19, and his 24-year-old brother, Anthony, were part of one of the largest recruit classes ever trained by the navy.

The brothers’ father, and some uncles, had also served in the navy.
