Commissioned Officers - Royal Army Medical Corps
« on: Tuesday 27 January 09 16:09 GMT (UK) »
I have a Roll of Officers in the Royal Army Medical Corps.

It lists all Officers commissioned between 1898 - 1960 with a birth date, qualifications, medical school and brief military history

There are 2088 Medical Officers and 441 Non-Medical Officers

I am more than happy to look information up

Hello Simon.

I would be most grateful for all and anything you might have on:

Captain George Agincourt Hodges, RAMC

George Hodges was an Australian who had remained in England after completing his medical studies at the University of Edinburgh.

(His brother, Captain Norman Hodges, ASC, MC, travelled from Australia to England and enlisted in 1915. He is buried in St Pol British Cemetary).

I’ve been unable to find an MIC.

I’m interested in his military history. I understand he is likely to be mentioned in the Tank Corps’ War Diary; and could be mentioned in the DDMS’ War Diary for whatever Division the Tank Corps served with. I haven’t pursued that (yet) as I cannot access them from Australia. 

I’m also interested in his medal citation. I have been unable to find it in the London Gazette or Lancet or British Medical Journal.

I’ve copied below some short biographical details:


~August           1915   RAMC                             T / Lieutenant *1*   

23rd August   1916                                        T/ Captain *2*
                    
< October           1918   RMO,*3*  5th Battalion, Tank Corps *4*   

30th May           1919   Military Cross *5*   


*1* Given the ‘rule of thumb’ that doctors enlisted into the RAMC at the rank of Lieutenant, and were promoted to Captain one year later. The 1918 Army List records Captain Hodges’ promotion to Captain as 23rd August 1916, see immediately below.     
*2* 1918 Army List, p 1707.
*3*  Given Captain Hodges was attached to 5th Battalion, Tank Corps at the time of the actions leading to his award of the Military Cross (see The London Gazette, 30 May 1919, page 6828, referenced below) it follows he was the unit’s Regimental Medical Officer.
*4* Being the unit Captain Hodges was attached to at the time of the actions leading to his award of the Military Cross. See The London Gazette, 30th May 1919, page 6828, referenced immediately below
*5* The London Gazette, Issue 3170, published 30th May 1919, Fifth Supplement, 3 June 1919, page 6828, column 2, last entry,

Thanks and Regards,

Peter

Hello,

I hope I have done this correctly.....very new at this!

I am looking for any information at all regarding my grandfather Dr Arthur Turnbull, dob 20th July 1884.  He was born in Glasgow and went to university there.  All I know is that he took a commission in the RAMC in 1914, entering with the rank of Lieutenant, I think.  I am writing a biography about him, so would be grateful for anything at all.

Many thanks whoever you are!

The book 'Duck' mentions is;

“ Commissioned Officers in the Medical Services of the British Army 1660 – 1960: Vol. II 1898 – 1960”
Drew, Robert
1st eds reprinted
Wellcome Historical Medical Library 1968

It is quite comprehensive.  You will need to go to a large, major library.  I was able to view a copy at the Mitchell Library in Glasgow.

Good luck in your research.

Hi Simon

I would appreciate it if you could please search for any details of my great grandfather Thomas Sullivan.

He enlisted with the South Africa Oversea Expeditionary Force in August 1915 and his papers state that he previously served with the RAMC (3yrs) and the Cape Town Highlanders (295 days).

He died of pneumonia on 06 January 1916 in at the Mount Dore Military Hospital in Bournemouth and is buried at Bournemouth East Cemetery. None of the military papers that I have acquired from the South African Defence Force indicate his date of birth for which I am eagerly searching.

His papers list him as being born in Maryborough, Ireland and being 37 at the date of enlistment in South Africa in 1915, however, his tombstone in 1916 lists his age as 43....?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks and kind regards,

Kevin Sykes
