Details:
Born in December, 1869, the son of William Beddoe, solicitor, of Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire. Educated at Brecon College and at Guy’s Hospital, where he was House Surgeon and Resident Obstetrician. He also won the Treasurer’s Prize Essay and the Prize of the Guy’s Physical Society. He specialized in diseases of the throat and was for a short period House Surgeon at the London Throat Hospital, but was soon appointed Resident Medical Officer at the Newport Hospital. Here he contracted a severe illness, which ultimately necessitated his removal to a warm climate. For a time, however, he practised at 1 Courtland Terrace, Merthyr Tydfil, or appears so to have done, for he retained his Welsh address after going abroad. He visited Egypt, and as the outbreak of the South African War had created a shortage of medical men in Cairo, he worked for some time for the Army at the citadel. He then settled in general practice in Cairo, and soon made his mark. He became eventually Surgeon to the Anglo-American Hospital, and for many years was Examiner in Surgery at the Kasr-el-Aini Hospital. Latterly he had been compelled to relinquish the last-mentioned post owing to the calls of a large practice. His address was at 34 Sharia Kasr-el-Nil, and he was a prominent member of the Cairo community. He died unmarried, on a Sunday in March, 1921. Publications: *A War Surgeon at the Red Cross Hospital*, Cairo. A number of short stories for English magazines, and two novels *The Honour of Henri de Valois* and *The Last of the Mamelukes*. At the time of his death two other novels had been accepted by the publishers.
