Chapman, Julian E.,

Julian Ernest Chapman was born in England on 5 January 1952 and emigrated to Australia with his parents in the 1960s. He became a teacher and was later employed as a financial administrator in the Australian Federal Department of Agriculture. He died in September 1994, aged 42. His father died in 1992 and his mother in 1999. Julian was an only child and had never married.

Julian had several pastimes but his main interests centred on philately and coin collecting. His philatelic interests included British Africa and Gibraltar, the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Greenland, and the postal history of Lundy Island. He became a member of The Royal Philatelic Society London in 1975 and was elected a Fellow in 1987.

Julian expressed a wish to bequeath some money to the Royal and following his death provision was made in his mother's will for establishing a scholarship in memory of her son. Following Mrs Chapman's death the Royal received a bequest and a Memorial Scholarship has been established.
