| Sir Alexander MacCormick [Kt Bach 1913 and KCMG 1926] | |||||||
| The following biography of Sir Alexander MacCormick appeared in the October 1958 issue of the monthly Australian | |||||||
| magazine "Parade":- | |||||||
| "A young Scottish doctor sat dejectedly in a sparsely-furnished room in Macquarie St,. Sydney, one day in the late 1880s. | |||||||
| His waiting room was empty. So too, was his appointment book. It was hard for a newcomer to break into the tight-knit | |||||||
| group of prosperous Sydney medicos. The Scotsman dug into his pocket and fished out a threepenny piece - almost his | |||||||
| his last coin. "Heads I stick it out, tails I go bush," he mused. The coin spun. It came down heads. Next day the doctor got | |||||||
| two surgical cases that earned him £100 and established his name. The young man who went so close to giving up his | |||||||
| Sydney practice became Australia's greatest surgeon, Sir Alexander MacCormick. | |||||||
| "MacCormick pioneered modern surgery in Australia. He was a power in bringing in a new era, which saw the horrible | |||||||
| operation death-rate drop from 45 per cent to almost nil. A founder of Sydney University Medical School and the Royal | |||||||
| Prince Alfred Hospital, he helped produce the first batch of Australian-trained doctors. | |||||||
| "Alexander McCormick was born at Taynish, Argyllshire, on July 31, 1856, son of farmers and traders wresting a bare | |||||||
| living from the land and a couple of small sailing ships. With typical Scottish pride, however, they sent young Alexander to | |||||||
| Edinburgh University, where he graduated in 1880. As house-surgeon at Liverpool Royal Infirmary, Alexander MacCormick | |||||||
| was in at the birth of a new era. A genius by the name of Joseph Lister was driving squalor and filth from the operating | |||||||
| theatre. Till then, surgery smacked of the Dickensian sawbones tradition. Surgeons confined their art mainly to amput- | |||||||
| ations. Few dared venture into the mysteries of the abdomen. Patients shared their doubts. So many died from infection | |||||||
| that most recoiled in horror from operations. They chose a lingering death rather than risk the surgeon's knife. Some | |||||||
| suicided as a quicker, simpler release from pain. | |||||||
| "Lister brought hope to this horrible darkness. He proved that antiseptics would slash the number of deaths from infection. | |||||||
| He persuaded surgeons to cleanse their hands and instruments in antiseptics and apply antiseptics to wounds after | |||||||
| operations, thereby killing the deadly germs. The diehards laughed at Lister. Not so Alexander MacCormick. The young Scot | |||||||
| worked every hour he could to prove and adopt Lister's methods. | |||||||
| "MacCormick was part-time demonstrator in physiology at Edinburgh when he received a letter from old classmate Dr. (later | |||||||
| Sir Thomas) Anderson Stuart, who had migrated to Australia. "I am starting a new Medical School at Sydney University," | |||||||
| wrote Anderson Stuart. "Come and help me get it under way." When the Medical School was opened in 1883, MacCormick | |||||||
| was demonstrator in anatomy, teaching Australia's first [locally trained] doctors. Soon, Anderson Stuart recognised | |||||||
| MacCormick's brilliance with the scalpel and appointed him lecturer in surgery. | |||||||
| "It was the start of a new age. Not only was MacCormick a brilliant surgeon, but he had a mission - to ram home the anti- | |||||||
| septic teachings of Lister. Many Sydney medicos were still convinced operation wounds had to fester and be drained | |||||||
| several times before they would heal. They were used to the sordid hospitals of their youth, where 45 per cent of | |||||||
| operation patients died and dank, unhygienic wards rang with screams and moans. MacCormick fought these prejudices - | |||||||
| stubbornly. Meticulously he cleansed his hands and instruments in carbolic. He sprayed the operating theatre with so much | |||||||
| carbolic that his aides claimed it was hard to breathe. He swathed operation wounds in antiseptic dressings. He wore the | |||||||
| first of the steam-cleaned white doctors' jackets which replaced the blood-soaked coats of former days. Under his | |||||||
| guidance Australian surgery emerged from the dark age. The amputation death rate fell to almost nil. | |||||||
| "Among Sydney's medical profession of fewer than 200 doctors, MacCormick won a reputation for brilliant, uncanny | |||||||
| diagnoses and amazing knowledge of anatomy. His strong, stubby fingers, so unlike the surgeon's hands of popular literat- | |||||||
| ure, went straight to trouble-spots in days long before X-rays showed doctors the way. He performed some of the first | |||||||
| operations in Australia on the stomach, chest and throat. | |||||||
| "Though MacCormick was acclaimed by surgeons, he was almost unknown to the public when he plunged into practice as a | |||||||
| surgeon specialist. Unable to advertise because of medical ethics, he went through a period of heartbreak. He eked a living | |||||||
| by attending children at the Randwick institution and giving lectures at the University. The day came when he felt he could | |||||||
| go on no longer. Orange [250 km west of Sydney] was the town he had in mind when he tossed the threepenny piece. | |||||||
| Orange lost a great G.P. when the coin came down heads. Australia benefited by keeping a brilliant surgeon in Sydney. The | |||||||
| £100 from two cases put him on his feet. Famous surgeon Sir Alfred Roberts came to his aid. MacCormick's fame | |||||||
| spread. His practice grew. Physicians, at last aware of his varied skills, sent him patients suffering from every form of | |||||||
| complaint. Surgeons consulted him on difficult cases from misplaced bones to intricate brain operations. | |||||||
| placed bones to intricate brain operations. | |||||||
| "He was thriving when, in 1895, he married Ada Fanny Hare Cropper, daughter of a N.S.W. grazier. In their little stone | |||||||
| house in Macquarie St. she bore him four children, two boys and two girls, of whom MacCormick was inordinately proud. He | |||||||
| He was able to spend little time, however, with his family. With inexhaustible energy, he worked 14 hours a day, six days | |||||||
| a week. He was at Royal Prince Alfred by 6.30 am, and began operating at 7. After half a dozen operations from the | |||||||
| correction of a displaced knee-joint to the removal of a gallbladder he would be off to the University to lecture students, | |||||||
| then back to the theatre to operate till 8 or 9 at night. Students watched every operation. The peak of a student's days | |||||||
| was when he was chosen to help the brilliant Scot. | |||||||
| "MacCormick trained many great surgeons - Professor A[rthur] E[dward] Mills, Dr. H[enry Vincent] C[ritchley] Hinder, Sir | |||||||
| Herbert Maitland, Dr. Cecil Purser and a bright youngster, [Sir] Herbert Schlink, Chairman of the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. | |||||||
| It was a great day when MacCormick performed the then-almost-unknown operation of lifting a whole stomach to get at | |||||||
| some small defect. He became famous, too, as Australia's greatest mouth and neck surgeon. One of his patients was near | |||||||
| to suicide through infection of the lips. MacCormick removed all the infected part and inserted a tiny glass window in the | |||||||
| man's neck to allow normal functioning. The man lived for 20 years after the amazing operation. | |||||||
| "In 1899, MacCormick was elected President of the Surgical Section of the Intercolonial Medical Congress of Australasia. | |||||||
| When the Boer War flared, MacCormick volunteered for service. He operated under primitive conditions as fighting went on | |||||||
| around him. He was mentioned in despatches when he braved Boer fire to go into enemy lines and tend both British and | |||||||
| Boer wounded. | |||||||
| "Back in Sydney, he developed the largest surgery practice in Australia. Soon he was without equal in the operating | |||||||
| theatre. Without haste, he made bold incisions, believing it dangerous to leave insufficient room for probing. With amazing | |||||||
| swiftness he tied ligatures with one hand while his other sought the trouble-spot. "I've never seen MacCormick's equal for | |||||||
| sureness, safety and speed," said a visiting American surgeon. Public hospitals [of that time] were still somewhat archaic, | |||||||
| so MacCormick and a few friends opened their own. They fitted out a big, old home in Paddington [an inner Sydney suburb], | |||||||
| The Terraces, with the latest equipment from all over the world. There MacCormick performed miracles of surgery. | |||||||
| "With a huge practice came wealth. Early in his career he had decided to charge people according to their means. As | |||||||
| Australia's greatest surgeon, the wealthy flocked to his door - and helped pay for the poor he never turned away. In 1905 | |||||||
| MacCormick built a five-storey building, Craignish, in Macquarie St., where he set up both his home and his consulting | |||||||
| rooms. He sent his children to Scotland for "a real Scottish education" and for relaxation indulged in his favourite sport - | |||||||
| yachting. MacCormick was never happier than at the helm of one of his racing craft on Sydney Harbour or off the coast. | |||||||
| The famous Scottish yachtsman William Fife [1857-1944] designed his most famous yacht, Morna, built by Scots at | |||||||
| Balmain, Sydney. | |||||||
| "Even at the peak of his success, with sufficient money to retire in comfort, MacCormick still worked 12 to 14 hours a day | |||||||
| on his own practice and on patients in public hospitals. His great work for Australian surgery - and the Australian people - | |||||||
| was recognised in 1913, when he was knighted. A year later Sir Alexander MacCormick volunteered again for war service. | |||||||
| On the Greek island of Lemnos and in the Middle East he tended the battered troops withdrawn from Gallipoli. From there | |||||||
| he went to France, where he continued to operate till fighting ceased. Sorrow struck when he heard that his eldest son, | |||||||
| Alexander Campbell MacCormick, had been killed while serving with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. A few years later | |||||||
| MacCormick presented his hospital at Paddington, later known as the Scottish Hospital, to the Presbyterian Church as a | |||||||
| memorial to his son. He also gave them £25,000 and land for extensions to the hospital. [It operated until 1998, when it | |||||||
| closed and was converted into an aged care facility]. | |||||||
| "At 65, MacCormick retired from the Royal Prince Alfred. He continued to operate, however, at Sydney, St.Vincent's and | |||||||
| Prince Henry Hospitals, still inspiring young doctors with his skill and energy. He was just 71 when he went to Scotland to | |||||||
| collect his new yacht Ada. With his life-long servant, William Gibb, two friends, a cook and a R.N.V.R. Navigator, he sailed | |||||||
| the yacht from Scotland to Australia via the Panama Canal, taking a trick at the helm every day. In four months they | |||||||
| brought the yacht 13,850 miles through rough seas and tropical calms to MacCormick's private mooring in Rose Bay, | |||||||
| Sydney. | |||||||
| "In 1931, MacCormick lay down his scalpel for the last time. "I would never stay in harness and see the weight of years | |||||||
| stiffening my fingers or my judgment," he said as he farewelled his friends. He and his wife left Australia. They moved to | |||||||
| Jersey, in the Channel Islands, to be near their two married daughters. There Sir Alexander MacCormick died on October | |||||||
| 25, 1947. He left behind a great record of medical progress. Even today [1958] they are doctors in Sydney proud to be | |||||||
| known as "MacCormick men" because they patterned themselves on the great surgeon." | |||||||
| Sir Hector Archibald Macdonald [KCB 1900] | |||||||
| The following biography of Sir Hector Macdonald appeared in the monthly Australian magazine "Parade" in its issue for | |||||||
| February 1966. At the foot of this biography I have added a number of further quotations from a far more detailed | |||||||
| biography of Macdonald - "Fighting Mac: The Downfall of Major-General Sir Hector Macdonald" by Trevor Royle [Mainstream | |||||||
| Publishing, Edinburgh, 1982]. | |||||||
| "After breakfast on the morning of March 25, 1903, a tall military-looking man entered the reading room of the Hotel Regina | |||||||
| in Paris. He picked up a newspaper, settled himself in a chair and began to read. Suddenly, with a loud exclamation, he | |||||||
| flung down the paper, brushed past an astonished porter and strode rapidly from the room. [The newspaper was the | |||||||
| European edition of the "New York Herald" and the headline read "Grave charge lies on Sir Hector Macdonald: Not amenable | |||||||
| to law in Ceylon: He sails for England to meet the charge."] At 1.30 that afternoon a chambermaid knocked on the door of | |||||||
| the man's small room on the first floor of the hotel. There was no response, so the girl unlocked the door and entered. A | |||||||
| moment later the whole hotel was ringing with her screams. When the manager accompanied her back to the room he saw | |||||||
| the body of a man lying face downwards on the floor. Close to his outstretched right hand was a British army revolver [it | |||||||
| was actually a small 8mm pistol]. So by his own hand, died one of Britain's great soldier heroes of the Victorian era. He was | |||||||
| Major-General Sir Hector Macdonald KCB, DSO - known to millions of his countrymen as "Fighting Mac." In the newspaper | |||||||
| Sir Hector had been reading that morning he had seen the public revelation of a scandal that would inevitably have ruined | |||||||
| him. The story told how the famous general was on his way back to Ceylon to face a court martial on "grave charges." | |||||||
| "Fighting Mac had been hero-worshipped throughout the British Empire for the dauntless courage that had taken him from | |||||||
| a soldier in the ranks to general and a knighthood. Son of a Highland tenant farmer, Hector Archibald Macdonald was born | |||||||
| on April 13, 1853, near Dingwall in Ross-shire. After elementary schooling he was apprenticed to a draper. But measuring | |||||||
| out lengths of material and selling buttons was too dull for young Macdonald. Just before his 18th birthday he ran away in | |||||||
| Inverness and enlisted in the 92nd (Gordon) Highlanders. A born soldier, Macdonald was sent out to India after a year's | |||||||
| training. He was a corporal at 19, a sergeant a year later and at 21 a colour-sergeant. Announcing his promotion to | |||||||
| sergeant, his commanding officer told him: "Never forget that to be a sergeant in the 92nd Highlanders is to be equal to a | |||||||
| Member of Parliament in the United Kingdom." | |||||||
| "Macdonald's first taste of action came in the Afghan War of 1879 when he was in command of a frontier blockhouse and | |||||||
| heard from a native spy that an attempt was to be made to assassinate the British commander-in-chief, Sir Frederick | |||||||
| (later Earl) Roberts. With 18 Gordons, Sergeant Macdonald led a hurried march over a precipitous mountain track and fell | |||||||
| upon the Afghan guerrillas lying in ambush above a road along which Roberts and his staff were soon to pass. "At them, | |||||||
| the Gordons," yelled Macdonald, leading a bayonet charge that left 30 Afghans dead on the stony hillside. General Roberts | |||||||
| rode up in time to see Macdonald and his Highlanders in full chase after the surviving Afghans. Later Roberts sent for the | |||||||
| sergeant and asked him which he would prefer - a recommendation for the Victoria Cross or a commission. Though well | |||||||
| aware of the difficulties facing a ranker officer without birth, education or private income, Macdonald unhesitatingly chose | |||||||
| the commission. * | |||||||
| "As a subaltern Macdonald went off to South Africa with the Gordons in 1880 to fight the Boers in Transvaal. Africa was to | |||||||
| be the scene of his greatest exploits, but his first campaign there was a bitter experience. On the night of February 26 | |||||||
| [1881], he was in charge of a company from the 92nd which was part of the force of 600 men under Sir George Colley | |||||||
| occupying Majuba Hill. Colley had planned to haul up Gatling guns and annihilate the surprised Boers in their nearby encamp- | |||||||
| ment next morning. But the guns could not be manhandled up the steep slope and daylight found Colley and his men | |||||||
| virtually marooned on top of Majuba. As soon as the Boers realised they had the enemy at their mercy they launched an | |||||||
| attack with 2000 men up the hillside. | |||||||
| "The result was a shattering defeat for the British. Colley was killed and his small army lost 283 men, including 58 taken | |||||||
| prisoner. The rest barely managed to escape by fleeing down the far side of Majuba. But Lieutenant Hector Macdonald and | |||||||
| 20 Highlanders with him on a rocky spur did not run. They held out for seven hours until 12 men were dead and eight too | |||||||
| badly wounded to fire their rifles. | |||||||
| "Macdonald was the only man left on his feet when the Boers at last over-ran the position. A dozen Boers warily surround- | |||||||
| ed the big Scot and moved in to take him prisoner. His revolver was empty and he preferred to use his fists rather than | |||||||
| draw his sword. One man leapt forward and clutched at Macdonald's sporran when a kick in the stomach sent him sprawling | |||||||
| six feet away. Just as the Boer picked himself up, another levelled his rifle at the Scot's head. The first man jumped at him | |||||||
| and pushed the muzzle away. "Don't shoot him," he cried. "This man is too good to kill!" Instead he motioned to several | |||||||
| others and together they jumped on Macdonald and pinioned him. Finally he was hauled to his feet with four men holding | |||||||
| him. His pistol and his sword disappeared. However, when the Boer commander, General [Piet] Joubert, heard the sword | |||||||
| was missing he personally offered a reward for its return. It was soon forthcoming, and when Macdonald was released | |||||||
| Joubert solemnly returned the weapon to him. "A brave man and his sword should never be separated" he said. All the men | |||||||
| captured on Majuba were soon released, and the first Boer War ended in 1881 with concessions by the British Government | |||||||
| that brought temporary peace. | |||||||
| "Three years later Lieutenant Macdonald while in Scotland on leave married a 16-year-old Edinburgh girl and a son was | |||||||
| born the following year. By that time Macdonald was away campaigning in the Sudan. Then for some years Macdonald was | |||||||
| seconded to help train the Egyptian army. He took part in many campaigns against the warlike and fanatical Dervishes of | |||||||
| the Sudan. He was awarded the DSO and rose steadily to the rank of colonel. | |||||||
| "In 1898 he commanded a brigade of Egyptian troops in General Kitchener's army that set out to crush the main force of | |||||||
| 60,000 Sudanese. The bloody collision between the two armies has gone down in history as Kitchener's famous victory at | |||||||
| Omdurman. Military commentators, however, agree that the battle's critical stage came when the Dervish commander | |||||||
| threw in a reserve force of 12,000 at Kitchener's rear. It fell to Macdonald and his brigade of 3000 Egyptians to stop them. | |||||||
| They did so as Macdonald's men swung round with parade ground precision and mowed down the Dervishes with Maxim | |||||||
| guns. It was this action that won Macdonald his title of Fighting Mac. Home in England on leave he was hailed as one of | |||||||
| the most brilliant officers of the Sudanese war. | |||||||
| "When the Boer War erupted in the following year Macdonald was a major-general in India. But as the South African | |||||||
| campaign went badly he was rushed to the battle area to help the newly arrived Generals Roberts and Kitchener to turn | |||||||
| the tide. The effect of their presence was quickly evident at the battle of Paardeberg [18-27 February 1900], though the | |||||||
| Boer War was still far from won. But Paardeberg was a victory - the first the British had had - and Macdonald, who had | |||||||
| commanded the Highland Brigade in the action, was once again a popular hero. He was knighted by Queen Victoria. And, | |||||||
| temporarily out of active service because of a bullet wound in the foot, he was sent off on a goodwill tour of Australia and | |||||||
| New Zealand. | |||||||
| "The Boer War ended with Sir Hector Macdonald still in Australia. From there he was summoned to take up a new appoint- | |||||||
| ment as British Army Commander in Ceylon. Less than a year later came the sensational rumours of Macdonald's private | |||||||
| conduct when charges against him were made to the British Governor, Sir Joseph Ridgeway. Ridgeway interviewed | |||||||
| Macdonald and it was arranged that the general return to England to consult the War Office about whether he should be | |||||||
| transferred to avoid scandal or fight the charges either in a civil or military court. ** | |||||||
| "In London, Macdonald was questioned by Earl Roberts, then British Army Commander-in-Chief, and the man who had given | |||||||
| him his commission. He also saw King Edward VII. As a result he was ordered to return to Ceylon and face a court martial. | |||||||
| But, instead of returning direct to Ceylon by sea, Macdonald went to Paris and booked in at the Hotel Regina. There, five | |||||||
| days later on March 25, with the publication of the first newspaper report of the scandal in which he was involved, Sir | |||||||
| Hector Macdonald put a bullet in his brain. | |||||||
| "His body was returned to Edinburgh at the request of Lady Macdonald. On April 2, 1903, he was buried at a private and | |||||||
| entirely civilian ceremony. But, whatever the charges made against Fighting Mac, to Scotland he was still a hero. Within | |||||||
| hours of his burial, as the news spread throughout Edinburgh, 30,000 people filed silently past the grave. Later, Scots from | |||||||
| all over the world contributed towards the erection of a magnificent 100ft stone memorial tower to Sir Hector Macdonald | |||||||
| overlooking his birthplace. | |||||||
| "Fighting Mac was also remembered for years afterwards by strange rumours that he did not in fact die in the Hotel Regina. | |||||||
| It was said, and repeated in numerous Press and magazine articles, that his suicide was faked to avoid the terrible scandal | |||||||
| of a court martial. Evidence by all the witnesses who saw Macdonald's body should have silenced the whispers years ago. | |||||||
| But they have persisted just as long as Fighting Mac's military reputation. As late as 1962 a reputable Scottish magazine | |||||||
| published an article suggesting that the German Field-Marshal von Mackensen, who died in 1945 surrounded by his wife and | |||||||
| five sons, was in reality Major-General Sir Hector Macdonald." *** | |||||||
| * Royle - "It's a good story and one that fits in with the myths that had begun to surround any mention of 'Fighting Mac'... | |||||||
| The truth is less fanciful. Roberts was in no position to make an offer of that kind, army regulations forbade it, and as a | |||||||
| holder of the VC himself......he would not have wanted to demean either the honour or himself by using it as an official | |||||||
| bartering piece." | |||||||
| ** Royle - "As to their nature [i.e. the charges against Macdonald] two versions exist of what might have happened. The | |||||||
| first.....had it that Macdonald 'was unfortunately discovered with four native boys in a railway carriage in Kandy. He was | |||||||
| surprised by an English tea planter who immediately recognised him.' The second version.....also concerns a train. | |||||||
| Although actual details are hazy and clouded by prim Victorian obfuscation, it can be deduced that Macdonald exposed | |||||||
| himself in a railway carriage that was carrying...boys back to their college in Kandy." | |||||||
| *** Royle - "The von Mackenson story is only a myth that many people have wanted to believe for its false air of romant- | |||||||
| icism and mystery. The two men may have looked alike at first glance, but von Mackensen was four years older, and being | |||||||
| a lean six-footer, his build was very different from the medium height and powerful shoulders of the Scot." [Elsewhere | |||||||
| Royle states that von Mackensen was at least 4 inches taller than Macdonald]. | |||||||
| Sir James Ross McFarlan [Kt Bach 1938] | |||||||
| Sir James was a Justice of the Supreme Court of Victoria between 1922 and 1949, when he retired. He had a reputation | |||||||
| of having a short temper with counsel who appeared before him. His shortness of temper appears to have carried over | |||||||
| into his favourite pastime of golf, as is illustrated by a letter from the late Philip Opas QC which was published in the | |||||||
| Spring 2004 issue of the Victorian Bar News:- | |||||||
| "Sir James was a better than average sportsman in his distant youth and never abandoned his interest in golf. Due to his | |||||||
| ineradicable irascibility he found it hard to get anyone to play with him, and he was usually confined to his ageing former | |||||||
| associate Wanliss as his partner. One day he impatiently watched as a foursome ahead of him dug up the divots and | |||||||
| indulged in "fresh air shots." He said to Wanliss, "Go down there and tell them Sir James McFarlan wants to play through." | |||||||
| He watched as his former associate strode off to do his bidding. He returned with the message that the foursome claimed | |||||||
| priority and had no intention of allowing him precedence. "That's not what they said," Sir James exploded. "Tell me precisely | |||||||
| what they said." Wanliss replied, "The fellow in the tam o'shanter cap said, "You can tell Sir James McFarlan that he can | |||||||
| kiss my arse."" "Did he now?" said Sir James. "Hold this club." He strode off to confront the foursome who were pottering | |||||||
| about in a vain attempt to get closer to the hole. "Did you tell my associate that Sir James McFarlan could kiss your arse?" | |||||||
| he demanded of the man in the tam o'shanter. "As a matter of fact, I did," he replied. "Well," Sir James shouted, "I am Sir | |||||||
| James McFarlan." "Really?" observed tam o'shanter, "Now that I've seen you, you can't." | |||||||
| In 1950, Sir James had the dubious privilege of reading of his own death in Debrett's Peerage. In "The Sydney Morning | |||||||
| Herald" of 20 July 1950, it was revealed that "a St. Kilda postman, Alan Perkins, was responsible for the error in Debrett's | |||||||
| Peerage that Sir James McFarlan had died last year. Sir James McFarlan, a former Justice of the Supreme Court of Victoria, | |||||||
| was still on the Bench at the time Debrett's reported his death. He retired last November. It was disclosed today that the | |||||||
| editor of Debrett's sent several letters to Sir James McFarlan at 97 Alma Road, St. Kilda, an address he left 15 years ago. | |||||||
| Postman Perkins made inquiries at the address and was told Sir James McFarlan was dead. He marked each of the letters | |||||||
| "deceased," signed them "A.P." and readdressed them to Debretts. Perkins said today that he would apologise to Sir James | |||||||
| McFarlan, but Sir James said tonight "it obviously wasn't Perkins's fault, and he has nothing to apologise for. Let's forget | |||||||
| the whole matter." | |||||||
| Sir William MacGregor [KCMG 1889, GCMG 1907] | |||||||
| The following biography of Sir William MacGregor, which concentrates on his service in British New Guinea, appeared in the | |||||||
| December 1965 issue of the monthly Australian magazine "Parade":- | |||||||
| 'Late in the year 1889 a stocky , square-shouldered man strode ashore on the largest of New Guinea's Trobriand Islands | |||||||
| while native police hurried ahead to warn the islanders that their new white governor had arrived. By the time the official | |||||||
| party reached the village of the chieftain, recognised by the British Government as paramount head of the Trobriands, | |||||||
| they found the local monarch ensconced on a throne waiting to receive them. Numerous subjects crouched at the king's | |||||||
| feet. Others scurried swiftly about the throne bent low to emphasise their inferiority. It was more than the indignant | |||||||
| governor could tolerate. Stalking forward through rows of prostrate figures he seized the chief by the hair and pulled him | |||||||
| roughly from the throne. Mounting the shaky bamboo structure the governor seated himself on the throne instead. "No man | |||||||
| in New Guinea," proclaimed Sir William MacGregor, "shall sit higher than I." | |||||||
| 'The action was typical of the bluff Scotsman. MacGregor did not love power for its own sake but he was determined that | |||||||
| the person of the British governor should be a figure of awful authority in the eyes of the natives. For 10 years from 1888 | |||||||
| to 1898, Sir William ruled British New Guinea, the Empire's wildest and most primitive colony, with a skill and firmness that | |||||||
| earned him the heartfelt gratitude of Britain's colonial authorities in distant London. | |||||||
| 'One of eight children born to a farm labourer in a remote Scottish hamlet, MacGregor was among the few men to enter | |||||||
| Britain's mandarin colonial service unhelped by an old school tie or influential family connections. He rose to the top by | |||||||
| work and determination. In his leisure time MacGregor studied geology, botany, surveying, astronomy. All proved useful to | |||||||
| the young recruit in the colonial service. The ambitious Scotsman never believed in doing just one man's work if he could | |||||||
| find two or three other jobs to do as well. | |||||||
| 'In Fiji he acted as Chief Medical Officer, Commissioner for Lands, Agent-General for Immigration, Secretary for Native | |||||||
| Affairs and Consul-General for the Western Pacific, holding many of these offices simultaneously. Fiji at the time was a | |||||||
| turbulent colony, dominated by a clique of sugar planters who controlled the island economy by grabbing land and working | |||||||
| it with Kanaka labour kidnapped from every island group in the South Pacific. The authority of the British Crown, only | |||||||
| vaguely established in the Fiji islands, needed to be enforced by someone prepared to defy influential planters and insist | |||||||
| that the land and native labour laws be rigorously obeyed. One angry landholder, bursting into MacGregor's office to | |||||||
| complain of his interference in his business concerns and threatening to have him sacked, left the office much later | |||||||
| realising he had met his master. | |||||||
| 'The Scotsman was a formidable figure, short but with massive shoulders, a square chin and a stern countenance. A pair | |||||||
| of deep-set piercing grey eyes denoted a man who was used to getting his own way. Once on board a ship off the coast | |||||||
| of New Guinea it became necessary to fix the exact position of an island. Independently, experienced ship's navigators | |||||||
| and a team of government surveyors arrived at the same result. Ignoring the professionals Sir William had also taken his | |||||||
| own readings that slightly disagreed. The seamen and the surveyors were ready to back one another up until they met | |||||||
| MacGregor's fierce gaze. "Do it again," grated MacGregor, "until you get the right answer." A second set of observations | |||||||
| were accordingly made and this time both parties made sure that their findings corroborated MacGregor's. | |||||||
| 'When Britain assumed sovereignty over the former protectorate of New Guinea in 1888, MacGregor was the ideal appoint- | |||||||
| ment as governor - known then as the Administrator. New Guinea was a fever-ridden, cannibal-haunted, virtually | |||||||
| unexplored wilderness. Only a line on the map separated British New Guinea from the German colony to the north. | |||||||
| 'The new Administrator's task was to explore the British corner of the island, acquainting hundreds of thousands of | |||||||
| primitive natives that they were now British subjects. He began by creating a corps of young officers to take charge of | |||||||
| the districts into which he divided the colony. All were personally responsible to the Administrator for their order and good | |||||||
| government. Most of the district officers were dare-devil adventurers. Their perilous duties included investigating inter- | |||||||
| tribal feuding and the murders by natives of stray Europeans in the distant interior. Though possessing powers of life and | |||||||
| death in their own districts all were terrified of MacGregor. Wrote one: "If you make a mistake or fail, Jock can make you | |||||||
| feel small enough to crawl through a key-hole." Gradually, by constant exploring and patrolling, MacGregor and his officers | |||||||
| succeeded in pacifying large areas of British New Guinea. The Administrator himself was an active as any, spending only | |||||||
| about one-sixth of his time at his headquarters in Port Moresby. | |||||||
| 'His greatest triumph was against the ferocious Tugeri head-hunters of Dutch New Guinea. Every year the Tugeri paddled | |||||||
| their canoes hundreds of miles, even as far as the Fly River in British New Guinea, in search of victims. The Tugeri believed | |||||||
| that no infant could receive a name except by acquiring it from an actual living person. In order to transfer the name to | |||||||
| the child it was Tugeri practice to behead the owner and carry home the name and the head with it. Often at dawn Tugeri | |||||||
| warriors descended on unsuspecting villages. Figures smeared with chalky white and armed with bows and bamboo behead- | |||||||
| ing knives would surround the village calling upon its inhabitants to come out and fight. But before any villager was seized | |||||||
| and decapitated, it was necessary to learn his name. If the victim refused to identify himself, the first terrified word he | |||||||
| uttered was accepted as his name. | |||||||
| 'MacGregor resolved that the Tugeri would have to be taught a lesson - especially as they were foreign enemies disturbing | |||||||
| the tranquillity of British New Guinea. Hearing of one anticipated raid, MacGregor took personal command of an administ- | |||||||
| ration patrol-launch and headed towards the Fly River. A few days later he sighted the Tugeri armada moving up the coast | |||||||
| west of the Fly mouth. Seeing the steam launch the canoes formed up in line abreast and came on taunting the Europeans | |||||||
| to fight. MacGregor ordered the little steamer to circle wide. Then, belching black smoke, she dashed straight at the Tugeri | |||||||
| war fleet carving through canoe after canoe. Arrows thudded into the vessel's woodwork but miraculously her European | |||||||
| and native crew suffered only slight wounds. Twice the launch repeated the manoeuvre until half the Tugeri war force was | |||||||
| struggling in the water. The remaining undamaged canoes were soon streaming for home. About 500 invaders were left to | |||||||
| swim for shore and make their way back through a region of interminable mangrove swamps and marshy plains barren of | |||||||
| food. It was the last Tugeri head-hunting expedition in MacGregor's time. | |||||||
| 'But though the governor was prepared to take stern measures as a last resort he loathed violence when dealing with the | |||||||
| usually harmless inhabitants of the South Seas. His patrol officers were judged by their ability to avoid hostile collisions | |||||||
| with strange tribes. They were instructed to show every sympathy towards native customs. MacGregor himself was the | |||||||
| first person to report the existence in British New Guinea of a "cargo cult." Anthropologists afterwards hailed the discovery | |||||||
| as being of international importance. | |||||||
| 'A native of Milne Bay had created a sensation among local tribes by convincing them he had met a spirit in a large tree | |||||||
| who predicted that a golden age of comfort and luxury was about to dawn for Papuans. First, said the spirit, the villagers | |||||||
| would have to kill their pigs, burn their houses and flee to the hills because a great wave was coming which would drown | |||||||
| the land and then recede making way for the millennium to follow. MacGregor intervened immediately when reports reached | |||||||
| him that the natives had slaughtered their pigs wholesale and abandoned their villages and gardens. Patiently he explained | |||||||
| how they had misinterpreted a missionary's biblical teachings of the Flood. | |||||||
| 'Sun helmet pulled firmly over his ears, the sturdy little Scotsman and his trains of native bearers marched up and down | |||||||
| down New Guinea's precipitous mountain folds, pioneering new paths or checking the work of others. His greatest exploit | |||||||
| was to climb the Great Mountain, second highest peak in British New Guinea. Only 50 miles from Port Moresby, it had defied | |||||||
| the efforts of countless previous explorers. Natives told the governor that it was unclimbable. MacGregor, with his private | |||||||
| secretary and 38 bearers, started in May 1889. Native paths through thick bush were so narrow that progress towards the | |||||||
| foot of the mountain was no faster than a mile in eight hours of walking. When the party eventually left the plain and | |||||||
| began toiling through the rain forest of the foothills the heavily burdened carriers threatened to desert. | |||||||
| 'MacGregor persuaded them to continue by pointing out that stragglers would be cut to pieces by the hill men. Fever | |||||||
| forced the young secretary to drop out but the 43-year-old MacGregor continued at the head of the upward trudge, | |||||||
| helping to hack out a path for the bearers behind. At 9000 feet the explorers entered a cloud forest. Huge trees coated | |||||||
| with a mantle of thick moss seemed to rear their heads through a ceiling of cold, still, impenetrable fog. High above the sea | |||||||
| of white cloud a final group of 10 men led by MacGregor plodded on to the top. They finally reached it after 25 days' | |||||||
| climbing. Looking round they found they could see both coasts of New Guinea, north and south. The governor named it | |||||||
| Mt. Victoria, highest peak of the Owen Stanleys. | |||||||
| 'Shortly afterwards MacGregor led another expedition that crossed New Guinea from south to north. Part of the route | |||||||
| became grimly familiar to Australian troops 50 years later as the Kokoda Trail. Never before had a British governor spent so | |||||||
| much time personally pioneering the primitive country he ruled. But his health suffered severely in the process. On one | |||||||
| patrol he returned to headquarters the only one of a party of 25 who had not fallen victim to malaria. However, when he | |||||||
| finally retired from New Guinea in 1898 he knew that British control had been soundly established over enormous areas of | |||||||
| the colony. | |||||||
| 'MacGregor later succeeded to much quieter posts and finally became Governor of Queensland from 1909 to 1914. He died | |||||||
| in retirement in Scotland on July 3, 1919.' | |||||||
| Sir Archibald Hector McIndoe [Kt Bach 1947] | |||||||
| McIndoe is a member of a group whom I describe as "heroes you've never heard of." The following biography appeared in | |||||||
| the July 1964 issue of the Australian monthly magazine "Parade":- | |||||||
| "On Christmas Day 1945 more than 100 airmen, many of them with faces swathed in bandages, held their first post-war | |||||||
| reunion dinner in what was known as Ward Three of the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead, England. Carving the | |||||||
| turkey at the head of the table was the 45-year-old Archibald Hector McIndoe, one of the world's great plastic surgeons. | |||||||
| The men at the dinner were members of his Guinea Pig Club, a fellowship that had made medical history. Every word of the | |||||||
| ceremony on that Christmas Day was broadcast to other club members in 17 countries. They listened to the laughter of | |||||||
| the men at the reunion and heard the words of the man who had remoulded their bodies so that they were fit to mix with | |||||||
| their fellow men again. When the Guinea Pigs first came into McIndoe's hands at East Grinstead they were the scarred | |||||||
| flotsam of war in the air. Blazing fuel from their wrecked planes had seared their faces into raw masks. Many were blind | |||||||
| behind glued eyelids or no eyelids at all. Their hands and feet were often twisted, charred claws. McIndoe not only | |||||||
| performed prodigious plastic surgery to give them faces and hands and feet. He smashed his way through red tape and | |||||||
| prejudice to ensure his Guinea Pigs were given every chance to rehabilitate themselves socially. | |||||||
| "Archibald Hector McIndoe, one of the great pioneers of modern surgery, was born in Dunedin, New Zealand, in 1900, the | |||||||
| son of a printer. He was still a young man when he took a medical degree at Otago University with coveted medals in | |||||||
| clinical medicine and surgery. A year later he won a scholarship to the famous Mayo Clinic. After six years at the Mayo he | |||||||
| regarded as one of the clinic's best stomach surgeons, doing 60 to 70 operations a week. | |||||||
| "One day Lord Moynihan, president of the Royal College of Surgeons, visited the clinic. He observed McIndoe's work and | |||||||
| urged him to go to England. But when the surgeon arrived in London he found that the professorship at the London | |||||||
| University's Post Graduate Medical School promised to him by Moynihan was not available. In desperation he called on his | |||||||
| cousin, Sir Harold Delf Gillies, famous plastic surgeon, also a New Zealander born in Dunedin. With his cousin's influence | |||||||
| McIndoe won a post as a stomach surgeon at the Tropical Diseases Hospital. After six months of hard study, he took his | |||||||
| Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons. But he had not forgotten the cases of cleft palates, hare lips and burns he | |||||||
| had seen in Gillies's surgery. When the plastic surgeon suggested McIndoe should join him in his work the New Zealander | |||||||
| jumped at the offer. | |||||||
| "The first major plastic surgery McIndoe did without Gillies' help was to excise the scars from the face of a British member | |||||||
| of the Indian Civil Service who had been mauled by a tiger. He straightened a crooked finger on the Duke of Kent's right | |||||||
| hand, a simple operation for McIndoe, but important to someone constantly shaking hands. His reputation grew. Between | |||||||
| repairing the victims of road and air accidents, he gave famous faces new noses or facelifts. By 1939 he was earning | |||||||
| £5000 a year after taxation [at least £275,000 in 2016 pounds]. | |||||||
| "Then came World War II. Now 39, and one of the country's four full-time plastic surgeons, he went to the Queen Victoria | |||||||
| Hospital in East Grinstead, Sussex, to organise a plastic surgery unit for air force casualties. "There are a hell of a lot of | |||||||
| second bests," he often told his staff, "but only one best." No matter what he tackled he made sure it was the "one best." | |||||||
| The Queen Victoria was a cottage hospital of 30 beds and a barrack-like wooden structure called Ward Three, which had | |||||||
| been hastily thrown up by the Works Department. By the end of the war McIndoe had built it into one of the finest centres | |||||||
| in the world for plastic, dental and eye surgery. | |||||||
| "McIndoe early made up his mind that every airman who went to East Grinstead would receive the finest treatment, both | |||||||
| physical and psychological. But he had to cut through masses of red tape and prejudice to get it. In spite of official | |||||||
| opposition he painted over Ward Three's regulation brown and cream with pastel pink and green. He once returned a crate | |||||||
| of hospital blues to the Air Ministry with a curt note: "I shall not allow my patients to wear such a hideous uniform. It | |||||||
| degrades them and makes them feel their injuries more than they do already." | |||||||
| "A visiting air vice-marshal was shocked to find high officers in the same ward with aircraftmen, and all ranks calling | |||||||
| McIndoe "Archie." Good for morale, explained the surgeon. Under the beds (McIndoe had replaced the regulation iron and | |||||||
| camp beds with comfortable wooden ones) the visiting officer could see bottles of beer and whisky. The wireless blared. | |||||||
| When McIndoe said he wanted more money and equipment the air vice-marshal retorted angrily that there was none to | |||||||
| spare for at least six months. The surgeon pointed to the ward they had just left. "These men," he boomed, "are the | |||||||
| bravest of the brave and petty officialdom is not going to prevent them from having the best treatment possible. How | |||||||
| would you like me to put them into wheel chairs and parade them down Whitehall to the Cenotaph with the Press waiting | |||||||
| to hear their stories?" He was sent all the equipment he needed. | |||||||
| "It did not take the surgeon long to realise that the burns of airmen shot down into the sea healed faster and took skin | |||||||
| grafts more easily than those who came down on land and received the standard first-aid treatment of tannic acid and | |||||||
| gentian violet. So he introduced brine baths and brine compress treatment. The results were spectacular. But despite the | |||||||
| dozens of case histories McIndoe sent them, the War Wounds Committee refused to give the brine treatment its official | |||||||
| blessing. So he went to the people who gave first aid, the nurses and Red Cross personnel, and urged them to throw away | |||||||
| their tannic acid and dyes. Before long his treatment was being used unofficially everywhere and the War Wounds | |||||||
| Committee was forced to give in. | |||||||
| "Once his Guinea Pigs were fit to walk or get about in a wheel chair McIndoe refused to keep them imprisoned in a hospital | |||||||
| ward. Nor did he wish the townspeople to turn away shocked and horrified if he sent them into the high street. He set out | |||||||
| to enlist the co-operation of the locals. Stirred by McIndoe's enthusiasm, East Grinstead adopted the hospital. Money | |||||||
| rolled in for better X-ray equipment, a pathology laboratory and facilities for occupational therapy. But McIndoe scorned | |||||||
| the occupational therapists' weaving and basketry. Instead he introduced typewriters and carpenters' tools and persuaded | |||||||
| an industrialist to set up a small factory in the hospital grounds. Here the men made aircraft parts and earned a little | |||||||
| money. Because American airmen were among the hundreds treated at East Grinstead, the American people showed their | |||||||
| appreciation by providing a magnificent new wing containing four operating theatres. | |||||||
| "One of McIndoe's fiercest tussles with officialdom concerned the 90 Day Rule. Under this rule a wounded man who did not | |||||||
| return to duty within 90 days was invalided out of the services with a meagre pension. McIndoe considered the rule unfair. | |||||||
| After treatment four out of five of his patients were ready to return to action. But some of these needed as many as 50 | |||||||
| operations which could take as long as three years. The rule did not give them a chance. When lobbying of service chiefs | |||||||
| and members of Parliament failed to get action McIndoe tried to shame them with a newspaper article entitled A Cornet in | |||||||
| Piccadilly. The article recalled the servicemen of World War I who ended up playing cornets and barrel organs in the | |||||||
| street. | |||||||
| "His most adamant opponent was Sir Stafford Cripps, the [then] Minister for Aircraft Production. Cripps claimed that the | |||||||
| abolition of the 90 Day Rule would drain the Treasury. So McIndoe invited him to East Grinstead. When the surgeon was | |||||||
| showing Cripps and his wife around the hospital someone pushed open a door. Standing on the other side was one of | |||||||
| McIndoe's "faceless" patients. He wore no bandages. The visitors were so shaken that it was several moments before they | |||||||
| could speak. Then they stayed for more than two hours plying McIndoe with questions. Cripps returned to Whitehall | |||||||
| completely won over. Soon after, regulations were amended to allow wounded men two and a half years in which to return | |||||||
| to their units. | |||||||
| "At the end of the war McIndoe returned to private practice in London. In 1947 he was knighted. But he still spent one or | |||||||
| two days a week at East Grinstead and every year carved the turkey at his Guinea Pig Christmas reunion. During the war | |||||||
| McIndoe had treated thousands of burned airmen and turned a cottage hospital into a great medical centre for a salary of | |||||||
| £500 a year. Now, consumed with an ambition to make a quick fortune, he concentrated on cosmetic surgery. He charged | |||||||
| a hundred guineas for a "nose-bob" and 200 guineas for a face lift. He was the fastest plastic surgeon in the country and | |||||||
| could do seven or eight operations a day. | |||||||
| "He bought a farm in Africa, sold it at a profit and invested the proceeds in uranium mines. With tips from financier friends | |||||||
| he made other good investments. In less than 15 years he had amassed some £140,000. Then on April 13, 1960, Archibald | |||||||
| Hector McIndoe retired to bed. He looked a little tired but that was not unusual. By dawn next day he was dead at the | |||||||
| age of 59." | |||||||

| MacKay was nominated a Knight Bachelor in the 2016 New Year's Honours List, but unfortunately died before he could | |||||||
| receive the accolade. The London Gazette of 19 May 2016 (issue 61587, page 11552) includes the following notice:- | |||||||
| "The Queen has been pleased to declare by Royal Licence, bearing date 16 May 2016, that Ramesh Ghiassi MacKay shall | |||||||

| Sir Morell Mackenzie [Kt Bach 1887] | |||||||
| The following biography of Sir Morell Mackenzie appeared in the August 1965 issue of the Austrlaian monthly magazine | |||||||
| "Parade":- | |||||||
| "In May 1887 a special emissary from Queen Victoria visited Dr. Morell Mackenzie at his surgery in Harley St., London. Her | |||||||
| Majesty was worried about the health of her son-in-law, the Crown Prince Frederick of Prussia. She urged Mackenzie, | |||||||
| probably the finest throat specialist in the world, to go immediately to Berlin and examine him. Within 24 hours Mackenzie | |||||||
| was on his way to Germany to take charge of a case which was to bring him both fame and ruin, and touch off the | |||||||
| bitterest medical controversy of modern times. For more than a generation argument raged over Mackenzie's part in the | |||||||
| death of the prince whose tragic reign as Emperor Frederick III of Germany lasted only 99 days. Germans openly accused | |||||||
| him of gambling away the prince's life for political reasons. | |||||||
| "Morell Mackenzie was born in 1837 at Leytonshire, England. He was the son of a physician and it was understood that he | |||||||
| would begin his medical studies when he left school. A brilliant student, he graduated from London Hospital as a physician | |||||||
| at the age of 21. Before taking a medical post, he spent a year each in Paris and Vienna, studying continental surgical | |||||||
| techniques. When he returned to London he brought with him a laryngoscope - the mirror used in throat examinations. The | |||||||
| instrument, recently invented by the famous singing teacher Manuel Garcia, was to make Mackenzie famous. | |||||||
| "Mackenzie took an appointment as resident physician at the Tower Hamlet Dispensary and continued his studies. Within | |||||||
| two years he had won his doctorate of medicine and gained entry into the Royal College of Physicians. He was so | |||||||
| interested in diseases of the throat that when the Tower Hamlet Dispensary could not provide him with sufficient patients, | |||||||
| he rented two rooms in Kingly Street and opened, at his own expense, The Metropolitan Free Dispensary for Diseases of | |||||||
| the Throat and Loss of Voice. | |||||||
| "On the stream of patients passing through his free dispensary, Mackenzie perfected his uncanny skill with the laryngo- | |||||||
| scope and throat forceps and made several modifications to both instruments. His textbook on the use of the laryngo- | |||||||
| scope, published in 1865, became the throat specialist's bible and set the seal on his reputation. Shortly after his marriage | |||||||
| in 1873, Mackenzie leased one of the biggest houses in Harley Street and launched into private practice. He prospered | |||||||
| financially and became one of London's outstanding social figures. The lavish entertainments he gave at his Harley Street | |||||||
| house were attended by the cream of English society. By the fateful year of 1887, when Crown Prince Frederick entered | |||||||
| his life, Morell Mackenzie had the biggest and probably the most lucrative practice in the world. Royalty and noble visitors | |||||||
| from other countries were all on his books. | |||||||
| "The Crown Prince Frederick Wilhelm, 56-year-old heir apparent to the German throne, was a popular figure in England and | |||||||
| on the Continent. Tall, blond and handsome, his marriage to Queen Victoria's eldest daughter - the well-loved Princess | |||||||
| "Vicky" - had been hailed as the love match of the century. In 1887 the prince caught a bad cold. It cleared up, but left | |||||||
| him with a pronounced hoarseness. His physician, worried by the persistence of the symptom, called in Dr. Gerhardt, | |||||||
| Professor of Clinical Medicine at the University of Berlin. | |||||||
| "Gerhardt examined the prince's throat and found a small nodule on a vocal chord. It did not look serious and the professor | |||||||
| performed a minor operation inside the larynx. It was not completely successful and did not remove all the nodule. For the | |||||||
| next 13 days Dr. Gerhardt applied electric cautery to burn away what was left of the growth. Then he sent the prince to | |||||||
| he sent the prince to the spa at Ems to recuperate. Frederick returned a few weeks later, slightly improved in general | |||||||
| general health, but his hoarseness was more pronounced than ever. Gerhardt called a surgeon, Professor von Bergmann, | |||||||
| into consultation. They agreed that the growth might be malignant and laid plans for an operation which entailed cutting | |||||||
| into the larynx from the outside and extirpating the growth. | |||||||
| "Meanwhile, the crown princess, alarmed by her husband's illness, wrote to her mother, Queen Victoria, begging her to | |||||||
| send Dr. Morell Mackenzie to Berlin. By coincidence, the German doctor had also thought of Mackenzie and had cabled him, | |||||||
| inviting him to consult with them. | |||||||
| "Before leaving London, Mackenzie raised the ire of his medical colleagues by talking freely to the Press about his projected | |||||||
| journey. He arrived in Berlin to find preparations for the operation well advanced. After examining the prince he expressed | |||||||
| the view that the growth might not be malignant, and offered to remove a portion of it for microscopic examination. The | |||||||
| The operation, performed with forceps of French origin with which Mackenzie was not familiar, was not wholly successful. | |||||||
| He managed, however, to remove enough of the growth to submit to pathologist Professor Virchow for tests. Virchow's | |||||||
| report was cautious, but he expressed the view that there was no evidence of malignancy in the sample of tissue he had | |||||||
| examined. | |||||||
| "Mackenzie had already antagonised the German doctors by his confident manner. Now he angered them further by allowing | |||||||
| Virchow's report to be published. To laymen it seemed that, but for the timely intervention of Mackenzie, German doctors | |||||||
| would have performed a crippling and unnecessary operation on the prince. | |||||||
| "That year Queen Victoria celebrated her Golden Jubilee, and against the wishes of his German medical advisers, Prince | |||||||
| Frederick went to London to represent his country at the celebrations. Londoners, well aware of his courageous fight | |||||||
| against ill-health, cheered him tumultuously as he rode, straight-backed but silent, in the processions. A week after the | |||||||
| celebrations ended, Mackenzie, using his familiar instruments, succeeded in removing all that was visible of the growth. He | |||||||
| expressed hope that, if the prince could avoid catching cold, he would recover his health. Shortly after the prince had left | |||||||
| for the warm climate of Italy, Mackenzie was summoned to Windsor Castle and knighted by Queen Victoria. | |||||||
| "For five months reports on the prince's health were encouraging. Then an urgent message sent Sir Morell to Italy. This | |||||||
| time there was no mistaking the symptoms. The prince had a well-advanced cancer. When the news reached Berlin it | |||||||
| touched off a campaign of hatred against Mackenzie. Professor Virchow, on whose report Mackenzie had made his | |||||||
| diagnosis, hastily denied that he had at any time said that the growth was non-malignant. The panel of German doctors | |||||||
| who had worked on the case issued a joint statement in which they said that they had never agreed with Mackenzie and | |||||||
| that it was he alone who had persuaded the prince to forgo the operation that might have saved his life. Professor | |||||||
| Gerhardt went so far as to say that Mackenzie's first operation was so clumsily performed that it could well have caused | |||||||
| the fatal malignancy. | |||||||
| "The German Press joined in the witch-hunt and one magazine solemnly published a report that Mackenzie was a Polish Jew | |||||||
| and that his real name was Moritz Marcovicz. At home, hostility was no less marked. Mackenzie's family was subjected to | |||||||
| indignities, and some of his medical colleagues hastened into print in support of the German accusations. | |||||||
| "Little could be done for the unfortunate prince. His doctors agreed that the choice lay between a total removal of the | |||||||
| larynx - an operation that had usually proved fatal - or an operation to relieve pain without hope of cure. The prince, | |||||||
| weary of continual surgery, chose the lesser operation. It was carried out successfully, and he remained in seclusion in | |||||||
| Italy until, a few months later, his father, Emperor Wilhelm I, died. Accompanied by Sir Morell Mackenzie, the prince hurried | |||||||
| to Berlin. There, dying on his feet, he was crowned Emperor of Germany. He died 99 days after his coronation, still | |||||||
| attended by Mackenzie. The crown passed to his son, Wilhelm II - the man destined to "sow the world with skulls." | |||||||
| "Mackenzie returned to London and was greeted coldly by many of his former friends - especially his professional | |||||||
| Colleagues. Their antagonism was increased when his book "The Fatal Illness of Frederick the Noble" reached the public | |||||||
| bookstands. In the book Mackenzie sought to refute the charges levelled at him by German doctors. Unfortunately, he | |||||||
| descended to abuse no less immoderate than they had used. The book did little to change public opinion. | |||||||
| "He died in London in 1891 at the age of 54. But the controversy did not die with him. More than 28 years after the event, | |||||||
| Kaiser Wilhelm II, in his autobiography "My Early Years," repeated the charges that Mackenzie had sacrificed his father's | |||||||
| life for money and a knighthood." | |||||||
| Sir Donald Friell McLeod [KCSI 1866] | |||||||
| After a lengthy career in India, culminating in his post as Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab, McLeod met a grisly end in | |||||||
| London in 1872. The "Pall Mall Gazette," on 29 November 1872, reported that "Yesterday evening Sir Donald McLeod, in | |||||||
| attempting to enter a train in motion at Gloucester-road station, fell between the carriages and the platform, and received | |||||||
| injuries which caused his death a few hours afterwards, both legs and the left arm having to be amputated. The unfortunate | |||||||
| gentleman, who recovered his consciousness before he died, was taken to St.George's Hospital, where Mr. Rouse attended | |||||||
| to his injuries." | |||||||
| Sir (Herbert) William Malkin [KCMG 1930 and GCMG 1937] | |||||||
| Malkin entered the Foreign Office in 1911 and was appointed a legal assistant in 1914. He continued to rise in rank, being | |||||||
| appointed assistant legal adviser and in 1929 reached the pinnacle of legal adviser to the Foreign Office. He attended the | |||||||
| Peace Congress in 1919, and was attached to the British delegation to the Washington Conference on limitation of | |||||||
| armaments in 1921-22, and later accompanied Neville Chamberlain to the Godesberg Conference with Hitler in September | |||||||
| 1938. In 1945 he attended the Conference on International Organization (otherwise known as the San Francisco | |||||||
| Conference) which resulted in the foundation of the United Nations. | |||||||
| After the completion of that conference, he was travelling back to the United Kingdom on a "Liberator" plane that departed | |||||||
| from Montreal bound for London on the evening of 3 July 1945. The plane disappeared over the Atlantic, and despite two | |||||||
| weeks' intensive search, no trace of the plane nor of any survivors was ever found. | |||||||
| Elsie, Lady Mendl, wife of Sir Charles Ferdinand Mendl [Kt Bach 1924] | |||||||
| "When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up | |||||||
| Now turns a handspring landing up | |||||||
| On her toes | |||||||
| Anything goes." | |||||||
| Cole Porter - "Anything Goes." | |||||||
| The December 1956 issue of the Australian monthly magazine "Parade" contained Lady Mendl's biography:- | |||||||
| "International and diplomatic society in Paris raised its aristocratic eyebrows at the news one day that, though over 80, | |||||||
| one of its leaders had welcomed 1000 guests at a society ball by standing on her elegantly-coiffured head. It was | |||||||
| comparatively easy after that to hear that at another ball, dressed as a dancer from the Moulin Rouge, she turned hand | |||||||
| springs down the centre of the floor to prove that "old age need not be a period of disintegration." This remarkable old | |||||||
| lady with the figure of a teenager was Lady Mendl, formerly Elsie de Wolfe, friend of Edward VII and also of his grandson, | |||||||
| Edward VIII, and of Mrs. Wallis Simpson, for whom the younger Edward abandoned the throne. | |||||||
| "Lady Mendl was born Elsie de Wolfe in New York on December 20, 1857. Her father was a Canadian doctor. Her mother's | |||||||
| cousin, Dr. Archibald Charteris [1835-1908], was Chaplain to Queen Victoria at Balmoral. At 17, Elsie was packed off to | |||||||
| England. Through Dr. Charteris she was presented at Court. Family finances were stretched to launch her as a debutante | |||||||
| in the highest London society with view to a rich marriage. Though blessed with untiring vivacity, Elsie de Wolfe was no | |||||||
| beauty. After two seasons with plenty of fun but no rich suitor in sight, she decided to earn her living. | |||||||
| "Success in amateur theatricals got her on the stage. Elsie de Wolfe became famous in England and America. Through the | |||||||
| 1880s and 90s she starred for Charles Frohman [1856-1915], the world's most enterprising showman. Handsome John Drew | |||||||
| [1853-1927] was her leading man, Ethel Barrymore [1879-1959] her understudy. She became notorious as the star of | |||||||
| [Victorien] Sardou's [1831-1908] Thermidor, "the most risqué play in America." | |||||||
| "There was a piquant appeal about Elsie de Wolfe, and her earthy sense of humour. Firmly in her spell was the Prince of | |||||||
| Wales, later King Edward VII. She was a regular member of his set when frequent theatre successes brought her to Britain. | |||||||
| In Paris in the 90s she entertained Oscar Wilde in her apartment. At 40, however, Elsie de Wolfe realised her theatre | |||||||
| charms were fading. She had earned fabulous money but spent it as she went. She had few special talents off the stage. | |||||||
| "Yet in a few years she was even more famous and well on the way to making and saving her first million dollars. As a | |||||||
| starter, she talked noted architect Stanford White (later shot dead in a love mix-up by millionaire Harry Thaw) into giving | |||||||
| her the 50,000 dollar job of decorating New York's swagger Colony Club. From then she was made. She set up a New York | |||||||
| office to buy antique furniture from Europe to sell at enormous profit to American moneybags. Her prices made oil kings | |||||||
| blanch. They were not in the social swim, however, unless their houses were refurbished by Elsie de Wolfe. She threw out | |||||||
| the old Victorian bric-a-brac and introduced plain, elegant lines. She launched the craze for all-white furniture, leopard- | |||||||
| skin draperies, and black marble. Later, she was to decorate Fort Belvedere in Windsor Great Park for King Edward VIII, | |||||||
| grandson of her earlier royal friend. Meanwhile, tycoons clamoured for her services. Soon she set up as an international | |||||||
| hostess in her own right. | |||||||
| "Elsie de Wolfe was already a millionairess, with residences in New York, Paris, London and Cannes when World War I | |||||||
| flared. She promptly formed an ambulance unit in partnership with Anne Morgan [1873-1952], sister of John Pierpont | |||||||
| Morgan II, the Wall St. banker and richest man in the world. Together they succoured the wounded under constant | |||||||
| German bombardment on the Western Front. Elsie de Wolfe was in the thick of the Battle of the Marne. She would not | |||||||
| escape till she had personally buried all her spare cans of petrol. She would not leave them to the oncoming Bache while | |||||||
| her thrifty soul revolted from pouring out the petrol and setting fire to it. The French decorated her with the Croix de | |||||||
| Guerre and the Legion of Honor. | |||||||
| "With peace, Elsie de Wolfe resumed operations as the most exclusive decorator in the world. She built up a fortune of | |||||||
| 4,000,000 dollars and indulged her taste for almost oriental personal luxury. Her clothes cost 20,000 a year. French fashion | |||||||
| houses called her the best-dressed woman in history. In Paris, she maintained a fabulous apartment with "the most | |||||||
| luxurious bathroom in the world." It was also an office and sitting room. There the ageing Elsie entertained friends while | |||||||
| luxuriating for hours in delicately-perfumed water. A secretary had a desk and filing cabinets there. She took dictation and | |||||||
| made out cheques while her mistress bathed and talked with visitors. Elsie de Wolfe had a horror of the efficient and ugly | |||||||
| plumbing arrangements common to modern bathrooms. She called the usual porcelain toilet "the unspeakable." Its utilitarian | |||||||
| lines offended her aesthetic senses. In all her houses, the "unspeakable" was disguised, usually in a priceless antique cane | |||||||
| of Louis XIV vintage. Few were wider known than Elsie de Wolfe or had so many famous friends. Lord Northcliffe, Lord | |||||||
| Balfour, Marshal Foch, Clemenceau, the present Duke of Windsor - all were under the spell of her strong personality and | |||||||
| danced attendance on her. | |||||||
| "In 1926, Elsie de Wolfe began her third career - marriage. Approaching 70, she married 55-years-old Sir Charles Mendl, | |||||||
| suave, polished, wealthy attaché at the British Embassy in Paris. As Lady Mendl, she emerged from a celebrity into a | |||||||
| legend. Possessed of a curious agelessness, she learned to swim, ski and ride a bicycle. She bought the villa at Versailles | |||||||
| built originally for the Duc de Nemours, son of King Louis Philippe, and returned it to its former glory at an estimated cost | |||||||
| of '£500,000. The furniture alone cost her £160,000. She became acknowledged dictator of the select international set | |||||||
| that made France and the Riviera its headquarters between the wars. Her eccentricities excited general admiration. She | |||||||
| greeted 1000 guests at a ball she gave by standing on her painstakingly-coiffured head. She was then in her 80s. | |||||||
| "Hitler sent the Paris socialites packing in 1939. The Mendls went to Hollywood complete with Rolls Royce, French poodles, | |||||||
| secretaries and throngs of servants. There Elsie de Wolfe Mendl, queen of international society, set up court in a mansion | |||||||
| high on a hill overlooking the Pacific. By now she was well over 80, though she never referred to it. To probing by friends, | |||||||
| Sir Charles always replied: "When I married her, she was 15 years older than I. Now she is two years younger." | |||||||
| "Despite her millions, Lady Mendl was close in small things. Sometimes she gave her husband jewellery worth several | |||||||
| thousand dollars - and next day demanded a small sum for the extra electricity he used reading in bed at night. She would | |||||||
| reading in bed at night. She would not let her chauffeur dust Sir Charles' car. His snoring, she claimed, disturbed her. She | |||||||
| went to great expense to soundproof his bedroom so she could not hear him in hers. This reacted against herself. One | |||||||
| night when she was taken ill, Sir Charles in his soundproof room did not hear her cries. She had to lie in some agony till her | |||||||
| secretary came home. | |||||||
| "The war made little difference to the Mendl entertaining. They gave large parties regularly. The evening was not | |||||||
| considered over till the ageing Lady Mendl, tired, clambered on a chair and shouted: "Why, in heaven's name, doesn't | |||||||
| everyone go home?" Lady Mendl rigorously dieted and exercised. She spent 30 minutes daily doing eye exercises. Her | |||||||
| sight was perfect at 90. She was credited with introducing the craze for tinting white hair blue. This was so successful | |||||||
| that she added other shades and changed the colour of hair each day. | |||||||
| "Whenever she travelled, Lady Mendl asked the manager of her hotel if she could re-decorate her room. Permission was | |||||||
| readily given for Elsie de Wolfe was still a potent name in decorating. What the hotel did not expect was the bill she | |||||||
| subsequently sent for her services. Though she had more money than she knew what to do with, she made it a rule to | |||||||
| charge exactly 10 times the amount they charged her. At 90 she was taken to a California hospital for an emergency | |||||||
| operation. Soon she was sitting up in bed receiving visitors. She had a special bar set up for them in a corner of the room. | |||||||
| During convalescence, she persuaded the hospital to let her "do over" the whole floor to make it look civilised. Once again, | |||||||
| despite her great wealth, she sent off a bill that more than covered the one she incurred. | |||||||
| "On the liberation of France, the Mendls set out for their real home in Versailles. Lady Mendl always wore a little phial of | |||||||
| deadly cyanide round her neck. A doctor prepared it for her because she had a phobia about getting caught in an air crash | |||||||
| and being fried up like a chop. She spoiled the voyage across the Atlantic for several thousand passengers by losing the | |||||||
| cyanide somewhere on board. It was never found. For the voyage, the wealthy put parsimonious Lady Mendl had been | |||||||
| provided with a great suite of rooms free on the liner. In return she permitted use of her name in future advertising. She | |||||||
| invited a number of friends to make the trip to France as her guests. Before they docked, Lady Mendl's secretary handed | |||||||
| everyone in the party (including husband Sir Charles Mendl) a bill, demanding 540 dollars from each for his passage. | |||||||
