petestarling Posted 25 April , 2006 Share Posted 25 April , 2006 I have just about every page of the Lancet and British Medical Journal for WW1 with Medical Officer occurances. It list casualties and Honours & Awards and in the case of casualties in many cases gives an obituary. There are also some citations given. What I have not done yet is indexed it because it is a large file. If you have a date I am willing to look up the issue and see if I can find anything.

petestarling Posted 26 April , 2006 Author Share Posted 26 April , 2006 Capt James Matheson was the youngest son of the late William James Matheson of Newton, Novar Rossshire and was educated at the Edinburgh Institution and Glasgow University where he graduated MB and ChB in 1916. Temporary Commission at Lt and promoted to Captain after a year. Served for six months in the Navy, also in Meopotamia and in France. Attached to Middlesex Regt when killed. Temp Lt Richard Felton. MC for gallantry and evotion to duty during operations. He tended the wounded during an intense bombardment and a few days later when a shell blew in the orderly room killing three men and burying the remainder he rescued the latter under most dangerous conditions. But for his pluck and devotion to duty many more lives would have been lost. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulianB Posted 9 May , 2006 Share Posted 9 May , 2006 Pete, This may be pushing my luck: I'm trying to find out about a Dr David McKail - Lt RAMC. He was the MO of the 16th Bn King's Liverpool probably since it was formed in Dec 1914,and I think, throughout most of 1915. I'm not sure what he did next though a David McKail appears on MIC (under RAMC) without rank or number so he may have gone overseas at some stage. thanks Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Pegum Posted 20 May , 2006 Share Posted 20 May , 2006 Could you please look up Capt.(temp.) Joseph Patrick Pegum, R.A.M.C., killed in action 26 September, 1917. Also Capt.(temp.) George Seymour Russell Stritch, Connaught Rangers who was, in fact, a G.P. I don't know why he was an infantry officer; he wasn't R.A.M.C., attached to the Rangers. He was killed in action 7th February, 1916. Many thanks, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petestarling Posted 22 May , 2006 Author Share Posted 22 May , 2006 Michael Nothing on Pegum. Stritch was educated at the Royal School at Armagh he studied medicine at Trinity College Dublin and Edinburgh where he qualified in 1895. He became assistant medical officer at Argyle & Bute Asylum. Returned to Dublin in 1902 and was appointed to resident medical officer of the Lock Hospital. He became a Justice of the Peace and Governor of the Lock Hospital. On the outbreak of the war he applied to joined the RAMC but was unsuccessful so accepted a Cataincy in his old regiment, the Durham Light Infantry and afterwards transfered to 6th Battalion Connaught Rangers. Age 42 when killed and left a widow and two children. Hope this helps. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Pegum Posted 22 May , 2006 Share Posted 22 May , 2006 Many thanks, Pete, Captain Stritch was my grandfather. I never knew before that he had applied for the R.A.M.C. You would have thought they wanted all the doctors they could get. Could you possibly send me a scan of that entry? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
