charlie962 Posted 27 July Share Posted 27 July This must be the record to see, at the British Library ? IOR/L/MIL/14/68820 Incidentally did you pick up on this in 1882? Taunton Courier via Findmypast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastindia Posted 28 July Author Share Posted 28 July That’s a lovely find which eluded me on FMP. Thank you. thank you also for the British Library reference. Seemingly due to the cyber attack aftermath I cannot access it on line but hope to look it up there when next in London. as always everyone’s help is greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawhiri Posted 28 July Share Posted 28 July Unfortunately only his pre-war service appears to have been recorded in the War Services section of the July 1918 and later editions of the Indian Army list, and it sounds as though you already have that covered. He does appear in the 2 June 1894 edition of The Lancet in a list of names of individuals who have been admitted to the Royal College of Surgeons. https://ia600708.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/22/items/crossref-pre-1909-scholarly-works/10.1016%2Fs0140-6736%2801%2969323-1.zip&file=10.1016%2Fs0140-6736%2801%2969603-x.pdf He was elected as a member of the Bombay Natural History Society on 5 December 1912. https://archive.org/details/journalofbombayn221913bomb/page/214/mode/2up?q=knapton According to the Proceedings of the Third Meeting of the General Malaria Committee held at Madras from 18-20 November 1912, he was at the time the Officiating Sanitary Commissioner, Bombay. https://archive.org/details/dli.ministry.19240/page/1/mode/2up?q=knapton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastindia Posted 29 July Author Share Posted 29 July Many thanks. I had not spotted his membership of the Bombay Natural History Society. I get much satisfaction in putting flesh on bones as it were and thus gain a better understanding who the chap was and what he achieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
