Details
Born in May, 1800, and entered the Bengal Army as Assistant Surgeon to the 7th Native Infantry on May 21st, 1826. He was promoted to Surgeon on November 15th, 1842. He died at Delhi on October 4th, 1845, his death being reported to the College in 1847. Lieut-Colonel Crawford includes Dollard among the twenty-nine officers of the Indian Medical Service who received the FRCS on August 26th, 1844. Publications: *General and Medical Topography of Kalee Kemaoon (Kumaon) and Shere Valley*, with sketches of the Cantonments of Lohooghaut and Petoragurh, as also of the roads, rivers, bungalows, etc., of part of the district. Printed by Order of Government. Maps, 8vo, Calcutta, 1840. This was published in accordance with Surgeon Ranald Martin's suggestion, made in 1835, that officers of the Indian Medical Service should be called upon by the Medical Board to compile medico-topographical reports on their stations. Of these reports, says Lieut-Colonel Crawford, the best known are Martin's own on Calcutta (1887) and Taylor's Dakka (1840).
