| 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 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 amputations. 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 antiseptic 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 literature, 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. | ||
| 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 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 encampment 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 surrounded 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 appointment 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 romanticism 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 bout 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 arned 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 appointment 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 beheading 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 administration 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 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 [was] 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. | ||

| Sir David John Cameron MacKay [nominated Kt Bach 31 Dec 2015] | ||
| 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 have, hold and enjoy the same style, title, rank and precedence to which she would have been entitled had her husband the late David John Cameron MacKay survived and received from the Queen the honour of Knighthood. | ||
| 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 laryngoscope and throat forceps and made several modifications to both instruments. His textbook on the use of the laryngoscope, 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 the spa at Ems to recuperate. Frederick returned a few weeks later, slightly improved in 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 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 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. Though they protested they could have booked a cabin off the shipping company for a mere 380 dollars, it is a tribute to the octogenarian's personality - or their own chivalry - that each paid up. | ||
| The £500,000 Versailles villa of Lady Mendl was reopened. She resumed her place in French society. Nearing 90 then, her energy seemed unimpaired. She still took two hours over her daily beauty care, mixing facial mud packs with a gold trowel on black etched glass. Her spare time she devoted to intensive charity work for French war orphans - for which cause she left the bulk of her fortune. | ||
| In 1950, her stamina began to fail. Chronic arthritis confined her to bed. Clad in mink jacket, she still sat up among her green pillows and received her intimates. On the pillows were embroidered sage remarks on the art of living as Elsie Mendl practised it. "Never complain," ordered one pillow. "Never explain," advised another. | ||
| On July 12, 1950, the dynamo inside Lady Mendl at last ran down. Her final words were wry regrets that for the first time in 60 years (except for war periods) she was missing the Paris social season. With Lady Mendl died a social phenomenon of the 20th Century. The world will rarely see her like again. | ||
