I am currently researching the life of this Officer and own his Miniature Medal Group. What I have so far is:-
Major Hugh Ross Macintyre, DSO, MC + Bar, WW1 Trio with MID, MD, PHD, Royal Army Medical Corps. His back story is fascinating born in NewChwang China 1882, (his father was a missionary) Educated in Edinburgh Scotland, sent from China at age 8 to reside with his grand parents in Edinburgh and attended George Watsons College then on to Edinburgh University winning Medical prize medals, Practical Pathology 1902, Medicine 1903-04, Disease of the Eye 1903 and Practice of Physics Mouat Scholar 1904. From the Medical register 1907 he qualified 1904 of ED Uni and is at 23 Norma Rd Waterloo, Liverpool as M.B., Bac. Surg.
On the 1911 census he is at Sydal Lodge East Harlsey Northallerton Yorkshire, employed as a Registered Medical Practitioner. I discovered an interesting piece of information from this document I noted his place of birth being NewChwang China, but also at this same address was a Katherine Leitch also born NewChwang China, after some research his sister, her husband also present is William Orr Leitch of Edinburgh.
Hugh went to war 1914 entering the Theatre of War on 22nd December 1914, ended up 23 Division 69 Field Ambulance Italy 1919. I have copies of all three of his citation for Conspicuous Gallantry, I also have copies of the war diaries of the 69th FA from 1st January 1917 up to November 1917 when the Division moved to Italy. He won his first MC at Battle of Messines June 1917, he won a Bar to his MC, having been recommended for an immediate DSO, at the Battle of Menin Road, Menin Ridge ,Hill 60, 20th September 1917. He won his DSO at the 3rd Battle of the Piave River between 27th - 29th October 1918
On his return from the War took a PHD in Oxford 1919. From the 1919 Medical Register he and his wife also a Doctor practice at Park Hill Sanatorium in Liverpool manly for wounded soldiers where he died on 23 February 1932.
I am looking for help in finding a photograph of Hugh be it military or a in civilian life.
What was his wife's maiden on the medical register she is Lilian Sarah Macintyre she is Scottish.
On the military side of things what unit was Hugh with from 1914 up until January 1917 when I know he was with 69th Field Ambulance 23rd Division I am also looking for confirmation that he moved with this unit and Division in Nov/Dec 1917 to Italy. I know he was in Italy by Oct of that year to win his DSO but did he move with them. The reason I am asking this is because I have a photograph of a RAMC Major supporting an MC riband with 20th FA on 19th June 1918 at Hesdin near Arras.
I did find on Ancestry Hugh on a family tree I sent a message through to the tree holder who on there profile was willing to help people in research etc, but after 3 months still no reply.
Hence my request Ladies and Gentlemen for assistance, a photograph would be the icing on the cake.
With kind regards
