K.C.M.G., K.C.V.O. SIR ARl'HUR SLOGGEl'l' was the son of Inspector-General W. H. Sloggett, R.N., and was born at Stoke Damerel, Devon, on November 24, 1857. He was educated' at King's College, London, of which he was subsequently elected a Fellow. He obtained the M.R.C.S.England and L.R.C.P.Edinburgh in 1880, and on February 5, 1881, was commissioned as Surgeon in the Medical Staff. In his batch were several men who afterwards attained distinction as administrators, the most eminent among them being the late Sir William Babtie. Sir Arthur Sloggett will be chiefly remembered as a wise administrator, his savoir-faire, knowledge of the world and of men, enabled him to succeed where other men, though http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ well versed in Regulations, would have failed. Sir Arthur saw much active service ana was senior medical officer with British troops in' the Dongola expedition, 1896; he was mentioned in dispatches, received the Egyptian medal with two clasps, the Order of the Osmanieh and was promoted Surgeon Lieutenant-Colonel. He was senior medical officer of the First Brigade of the British Division of the Nile expedition in 1898, and was dangerously wounded, being shot through the chest at the Battle of Khartoum. For his services he was mentioned ,in dispatches, was granted the higher rate of pay as on October 2, 2021 by guest. Lieutenant-Colonel, and received, the order of the Medjidieh (3rd class). In the South African War he had the local rank of Colonel and was in charge of the Imperial Yeomanry Hospital, then P.M.O. of a General Hospital and Commandant' Deelfontein District. He took part in the operations-in the Orange Free State in April and,May, and in the Transvaal in June' and July, 1900,' and in operations in the Transvaal, Orange Free 1 J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-54-01-01 on 1 January 1930. Downloaded from 2 Obituary State, and Cape Colony down to 1902. He was mentioned in dispatches, and received the two medals with five clasps and the C.M.G. In 1903 he was promoted to the rank of Colonel, and was appointed P.M.O. of the London District, where he remained until 1908. Those who served with him in those days could not help noticing how smoothly everything went in the district; there was no fuss or worry. Sir Arthur knew most people of note and his personal qualities had much to do with his successful administration. In July, 1908, he was appointed P.M.O. of the 6th Division in India with headquarters at Poona, and remained in this command until December, 1911, when he was selected for the appointment of P.M.O. of the British Forces, India. He remained at Headquarters as Director of Medical Services until 1914. In this appointment he always had the advancement of the work of the Corps at heart and was unfailing in his efforts to promote contentment among those serving under him. He was instrumental in bringing together in India some of the best athletic teams which the Corps produced. He was promoted Surgeon General in 1908, and received the C.B. Military in 1910. In 1911 he was appointed Honorary Surgeon to the King. In June, 1914, he was called home to succeed Sir Launcelotte Protected by copyright. Gubbins as Director-General Army Megical Services. " When war broke out in August, 1914. Sir Arthur Sloggett remained at the War Office for the first few weeks, when he had to deal with the many problems associated with mobilization of the divisions of the Expeditionary Force, the formation of camps for new divisions which were rapidly being formed, and the work of the Red Cross. In this he was ably assisted by the late Sir William Macpherson, who at that time was Deputy Director­ General at the War Office. Unfortunately, just at this time; Sir Arthur fell ill, and after a .short interregnum, during which Sir William Macpherson carried on the duties of D.D.G. and D.G., Sir Alfred Keogh was called to the War Office to act http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ as D.G. When Sir Arthur Sloggett had recovered he went to France and Sir Alfred Keogh remained at the War Office. After the first battle of Ypres, when the German push for the Channel ports had been arrested, and affairs at the Front in France had become temporarily stabilized, Lord. Kitchener formed the opinion that the war was likely to last for two or three years instead of the few weeks suggested by the General Staff, and that it would be necessary to raise new armies. In these circumstances it was thought desirable to have a Director-General in­ France of great experience in war, and Sir Arthur Sloggett was appointed Director-General of Medical Services of the British Armies, and Chief on October 2, 2021 by guest. Commissioner of the Red Cross and the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. In. both capacities he served with great distinction untiIJu~e, 1918, when his. term of office in the ordinary course ended. His business capacities, experience of war, and geniality found full scope in dealing with the Regular, Territorial, Voluntary and Red Cross medical units,and 'Yith the Consultants, who were men of great distinction in .civil life but had J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-54-01-01 on 1 January 1930.

Where there might have been great ,friction everything worked smoothly under Sir Arthur's guidance. He had an unusual capacity of drawing men together and making them work harmoniously. His powers as a peacemaker were feelingly referred to by the late Earl Haig in his speech at the dinner given to the Medical Service after the war. Sir Arthur had an open mind and was always willing , to take advice from those he considered competent to give it. His wide outlook enabled him to meet all difficulties with tact and tolerance and a minimum of red tape. A medical organization gradually came illto being which was cOllsidered a model for the then existing conditions. 'l'he arrangements for the early treatment of the severely wounded, and more especially for the treatment of cranial and abdominal wounds, fractures and burns, were made possible by the facilities given to the D.M.S. of each army and the consulting surgeons. An effective liaison was also developed between the British and Allied Medical Services which was of value in creating mutual respect and friendship. Protected by copyright. When the final war of movement arrived the direction of medical affairs had passed into other hands; but there is no 'doubt that the arrangements already made by Sir Arthur Sloggett had a great influence on the ultimate result. Sir Arthur's shrewd judgment and knowledge of. men aided him in the selection of his personal staff. He treated them as friends, and nb m!\on was better served. His staff loved him; they knew that behind all his actions there was a genuinely kind heart and perfect loyalty to them. His gay vitality was infectious and created an atmosphere of happiness for his im­ mediate entourage in France. If a disagreeable thing had to be done, it was accomplished in such a kindly way that no bitter feeling was left in http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ the mind of the sufferer. His exuberance of spirit might occasionally lead him into indiscretions, for he was very human, but they counted as nothing compared with the efficient control which he maintained mainly through his personal influence over all those who were in charge of the various organizations for the relief of human suffering. ' His delightful hospitality will always be remembered by those who had occasion to visit his headquarters, where they were treated to the best he had to give.

  • Deeds and Words in the Suffrage Military Hospital in Endell Street
    Medical History, 2007, 51: 79–98 Deeds and Words in the Suffrage Military Hospital in Endell Street JENNIAN F GEDDES* Introduction Shortly after war broke out in 1914 Dr Flora Murray and Dr Louisa Garrett Anderson, two former members of the Women’s Social and Political Union, founded their own women’s hospital organization to care for soldiers wounded in the fighting. Experience in the suffrage movement had taught them what the likely reaction of the authorities would be to any offer of help from women doctors, so they applied directly to the French, who accepted their offer and assigned them a newly built hotel in Paris for their hospital. During the autumn and early winter of 1914 Murray and Anderson’s ‘‘Women’s Hospital Corps’’ successfully ran two military hospitals, in Paris and at Wimereux on the Channel coast, until January 1915, when casualties began to be evacuated to England in preference to being treated in France. In the interim, the War Office had received many favourable reports of the WHC’s achievements, with the result that at the beginning of 1915 the women were invited to return to England, and given the opportunity to run a large military hospital in the centre of London, under the Royal Army Medical Corps. This hospital, the Endell Street Military Hospital, was open from May 1915 to the end of 1919. Entirely staffed by women, and the only women’s unit run by militant suffragists, it was one of the most remarkable hospitals of the war.1 By any standards, the achievements of the WHC were astonishing.

In the case of Australia this was effected by frequent communication of a personal nature between the Australian D.G. and myself. The former was then engaged in organising the Medical Service of Australia, and in all essential particulars it developed on lines similar to that of Great Britain. The connection with Canada was closer for we were able to secure that selected officers from that portion of the Dominions came to us for instructioii in Administration, and were given opportunities of seeing the organisation and its constituent parts from Hospitals up to the W.O. branches. The result was a development in Canada along lines similar to our own. The service in New Zealand was a new formation, but the attitude of the Authorities has been sufficiently dis- played by their demand that their Director of M.S.

  • Medical Women at War, 1914-1918
    Medical History, 1994, 38: 160-177. MEDICAL WOMEN AT WAR, 1914-1918 by LEAH LENEMAN * Women had a long and difficult struggle before they were allowed to obtain a medical education.' Even in 1914 the Royal Free was the only London teaching hospital to admit them and some universities (including Oxford and Cambridge) still held out against them. The cost of a medical education continued to be a major obstacle, but at least there were enough schools by then to ensure that British women who wanted and could afford one could get it. The difficulty was in finding residency posts after qualifying, in order to make a career in hospital medicine. Few posts were available outside the handful of all-women hospitals, and medical women were channelled away from the more prestigious specialities-notably general surgery-into those less highly regarded, like gynaecology and obstetrics, and into asylums, dispensaries, public health, and, of course, general practice.2 When war broke out in August 1914, the Association of Registered Medical Women expected that women doctors would be needed mostly for civilian work, realizing that "as a result of the departure of so many medical men to the front there will be vacancies at home which medical women may usefully fill".3 As early as February 1915 it was estimated that a sixth of all the medical men in Scotland had taken commissions in the RAMC. In April of that year it was reported that "there is hardly a resident post not open to a qualified woman if she cares to apply for it".
