Details:
Born on October 3rd, 1875, the youngest son of Alfred Carpmael, solicitor, of Norwood, and his wife Jane Josephine (*née* Rainbow). He was educated at Dulwich College, where he was captain of the shooting VIII for four years. From Dulwich he went to University College, London, and obtained the Gold Medal for Botany, and the Silver Medal for Zoology and Comparative Anatomy. In 1896 he entered St Thomas’s Hospital, and there held the appointments of Anatomical Registrar, House Surgeon, and Clinical Assistant in the Skin Department. He captained the Hospital Rifle Team, when he won many trophies, including the United Hospitals Challenge Cup for the highest aggregate at Bisley. This cup he won outright after holding it for three years in succession and five years in all. In 1907 he entered into partnership with Dr William Lengworth Wainwright at Henley-on-Thames, where he showed himself to be an able and hard-working practitioner. He interested himself in the Henley Miniature Rifle Club, and became its captain. In addition to rifle-shooting he was a keen fisherman and was one who could and did make his own fishing rods. He died at Henley-on-Thames in March, 1912, after a brief illness from a cerebral tumour, and was buried at the Norwood Cemetery. He was unmarried. Two brothers and five sisters survived him.
