BJanman Posted 5 September , 2007 Share Posted 5 September , 2007 Hi Chris Lancet Date Nov 25 1916 William Henry Edmunds, L.M.S.S.A. Lond. Surgeon, Royal Navy. Surgeon W. H. Edmunds, who died at the Western Infirmary, Glasgow, on Oct. 4th, at the age of 27, was the only son of J. L. Edmunds, of Chepstow, Mon. He was educated at West Monmouth School, Pontypool, and University College, Cardiff, where he passed the Second M.B. Examination, and then entered St. Mary's Hosptial with an open University Exhibition. He qualified in 1913, was for a time assistant to Dr. T. E. Mitchell as Old Hill, Staffs., and was then appointed medical superintendent of the Birmingham City Hospital at West Heath. This appointment he resigned to join the Navy as a temporary Surgeon at the end of 1915. After some experience at navel bases he became medical transport officer to a naval ambulance train, and contracted while performing his duties there blood poisoning, from which an operation failed to save him. Surgeon Edmunds was a keen athlete. At Cardiff University he won this cap at water polo and football, and will be remembered as a fine Rugby football player. Generous in mind and brave in body, his personal qualities made him popular with his fellow students, while his chief writes of him as a loyal colleauge and pleasant companion, well up on the scientific side of this profession. Surgeon Edmunds was recently married. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
