A Musician’s Final Performance: The Lost Story of Roger Bricoux
He was born on the 1st of June 1891 in Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire, France, into a musical family. As a child, his family moved to Monaco, and he was educated in Catholic schools in Italy. He began playing in orchestras and even won a first prize at the Conservatory of Bologna.
After he spent time studying in Paris, he moved to England in 1910, in order to continue his career. He then returned to France. By 1912, he had joined the musicians on Titanic, having previously served on Carpathia. He was just 20 years old.
When the ship sank on the 15th of April 1912, he was tragically lost and his body never found. For years, he was wrongly listed as a deserter, only being officially recognised as dead in 2000.
