The younger brother of Arthur Edward Durham (qv), was born at Northampton and educated at Guy's Hospital, where after filling a succession of minor posts he became Surgical Registrar. He developed a keen interest in pathological histology and was indefatigable in preparing and examining specimens. He was Surgeon and afterwards Consulting Surgeon to the North-West London Hospital. For many years he took an active interest in the Royal Medical Benevolent Fund and he was a central figure in the old-established club of Guy's men known as 'Our Club'. Throughout his life he was the constant and able assistant of his brother, in whose reputation he sank his own individuality. He died on July 16th, 1928, crippled by osteo-arthritis.
