HC Deb 09 November 1920 vol 134 cc1013-4
66. Mr. MILLS

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether or no a list of the surgeons on board His Majesty's hospital ship "Soudan" early in 1915 can be furnished; and, if so, how many have survived the period of war?

Sir J. CRAIG

The answer is rather long, and, if the hon. Member will allow me, I will have it published in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

The following in the answer supplied:

The names of the surgeons serving in H.M.S. "Soudan" from the 1st January to 1st July, 1915, are as follows:—

Fleet Surgeon G. T. Collingwood, M.V.O., R.N.

Staff Surgeon J. K. Murphy, M.D., F.R.C.S., R.N.V.R.

Staff Surgeon H. Reah, M.B., R.N.V.R.
