    J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-118-02-02 on 1 January 1972. Downloaded from 60 THE MITCHINER MEMORIAL LECTURE THE DOCTOR'S DEBT TO THE SOLDIER * BRIGADIER SIR IAN FRASER, D.S.O., O.B.E., F.R.C.S., D.L. My first duty is to say how much I appreciate the honour of being asked to give this, the third Mitchiner Memorial Lecture. I had frequent contacts with Philip Mitchiner during the war both in England and later in the Middle East, but I suppose I got to know him best when, as a member of the same surgical travelling club, we visited surgical centres abroad. His candid comments of some of the surgery that we saw cannot be put on paper, and I always hoped some of them were not overheard by our hosts. The reasons for an eponymous lecture are many; the person may have been the first to describe a disease or syndrome, or he may have invented an instrument, a splint, an operation, or even a piece of Gamgee tissue, but Mitchiner is remembered for some­ thing less tangible. He is remembered for the personal relationships which he made and which endured. If you liked Mitchener you liked him always. If his name is attached to anything it is to " Mitchiner's Army". This is not to be confused with a larger unit guest. Protected by copyright. of almost the same name-Kitchener's Army. Not being a Londoner I never had the privilege of serving in " Mitchiner's Army" but I do see here tonight people who were privates then who are now holding high rank-even a Lieutenant-General.
