Major HWC Baillie RAMC

[K8T]

I am trying to find out about the above named person.  I believe his initials stand for Hugh William Charles Baillie (although I've seen it spelt as 'Bailie' as well).   

He supposedly studied medicine at Queen's Belfast although the only evidence is in an athletic meeting in 1938 when he represent Irish Universities Athletic Assoc. 

There is a Charles William Hugh Bailie in the Peerage born 1895.  He was a Major and the son of Maj-Gen Thomas Maurbourg Bailie.  Not sure he is the same person.  I think not as I have found a  birth Hugh W C Bailie in 1915 in Clogher, Ireland but not sure about his parents.

I have found Captain HWC Baillie mentioned in dispatches in a 1945 Gazette so probably not the same person.

He was an athlete who competed in the Javelin in 1938-39 using the name HWC Baillie. 

Any further information about this person would be greatly appreciated.

His records will still be held by the MOD, and information on how to apply for them are on the Government website.

You'll need a Death Certificate, a Date of Birth OR a Service Number (you have both), and a fee of £30.

There is currently a long timescale for the receipt of records due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Thanks for that, I know it's more difficult to get hold of WW2 records.  I don't have a death certificate.  Haven't been able to find a death as yet, although it would make him 105 by now!
