He died, aged 63 in July 1944 Westmorland South 10b: 647). His obituary appeared in the Westmorland Gazette on 22 July 1944:
The death took place at Kendal on Monday of Mr Braithwaite Black, The Green, Ambleside, at the age of 61 years. He was a slate river and served his time at Loughrigg Quarry, Rydal. A great lover of dogs, he was a keen foxhunter and hound trailer and regularly attended at the Mardale Shepherds' Meet. He was a member of the Male Voice choir and sang in a B.B.C broadcast. He played for several seasons with Ambleside Rugby club. He was an observer of the Wild Birds Protection Society. During the last war he served with the Border Regiment and was awarded the Serbian Gold Medal in 1915. This medal was presented personally by the King of Serbia. He received a diploma of honour from the townsfolk of Ambleside.
A correspondent writes: Braithwaite Black hunted with many foxhound packs. He had an almost uncanny instinct of the habits and runs of the fell foxes. “If you want to see anything of the hunt stick to Brait Black – if you can”, was sound advice, but he was a terror to keep up with on foot. The famous Ullswater huntsman, Joe Bowman, used to observe that what Braithwaite did not know about hunting wasn't worth knowing. He almost knew to a point where hounds and fox were likely to reappear amidst the crags, screes or bracken after they had been out of sight and hearing for a space.
Lost – And – Won
As a hound trailer, he proved a successful breeder and competitor. He had numerous trail hounds through his hands, including such well known ones as Trimmer, Misty Morn, Sally, Welcome, etc. Once on his way to Mardale he and Trimmer were lost in the mist on Roman High Street for many hours, an experience not uncommon among hunters and trailers.
Despite this handicap Trimmer won a great trail on ultimately arriving at Mardale Green. This hound won the memorable trail at Ullswater sports when Lord Lonsdale disqualified the whole pack except three for starting before he gave the signal. Black had held Trimmer up, and in spite of the very considerable start, by the main body. Trimmer overlapped them and came in first. Black was also a successful breeder of working terriers.
Mountain Guide
Black was a good all–round athlete, and a meritorious fell runner, more enduring rather than speedy. While his battalion was in training Black won medal after medal for cross country runs, being recognised as the best cross country runner in the battalion. He also had the honour of walking the regimental mascot, a fine foxhound at the head of the battalion on the march.
As a reliable mountain guide, his friends were constantly requiring his company in mountain rambles. One of his most recent occupations was acting as a sort of handyman and guide for the Huyton (Liverpool) Girls School evacuated to Rydal Hall, where his services were thoroughly appreciated.
A Hunter's Requiem
The funeral took place at St. Mary's, Ambleside on Wednesday, whither the Union Jack–draped coffin had been borne from the hospital at Kendal. The services resembled a huntsman's requiem, though all branches of Lakeland sport were represented amongst the assembly. The Rev. H. A. Thompson, vicar, took the service. As the mourners gathered in the church the organist Mr. E. A. Skelton who had met Mr. Black on active service in the last war, played the old Scottish soldiers lament, “The Flowers of the Forest” (his own arrangement), and the haunting John Peel lament, “The horn of the huntsman's now silent”. The 23rd Psalm was sung, and the hymn, “Forever with the Lord”. As the funeral filed out from the church, the organist played his own composition of a beautiful requiem, “Huntsman, Rest, thy chase is done”.
Among the mourners were Messers. J. and R. Logan, Geo. Grundy, Geo. Chapman (representing the Coniston Fox Hounds), A. S. Dixon, W. C. Skelton, W. Robinson, T. Bell, A. Capstick, Gilb. Smith and W.

Stobbart, and many others as well as a contingent of students from Huyton (Girls) School, Rydal Hall. The chief mourners were Mr. and Mrs. George Black (brother and sister-in- law), Mr. Fred Black (brother), Mrs. Clara Kay (sister), Messrs. John, Dick and William Black (nephews): Misses Winifred, Mary and Margaret Black (nieces), and the following cousins: Mr. and Mrs. Fred Fradley, Mr. Jos.
