Details:
Born 14 May 1858 at Victoria Road, Whalley Range, Manchester, the fourth child and second son of Edward Lund, FRCS, and Charlotte Webster, his wife. He entered Rugby when Dr Jex-Blake was headmaster in April 1874 and left the school in 1876. He was admitted a pensioner at Trinity College, Cambridge on 1 June 1878 with Mr Trotter as his tutor. He graduated BA with second-class honours in the Natural Sciences Tripos in 1881 and went to Guy's Hospital, where he acted as house surgeon and senior resident obstetric officer. Returning to Manchester, he was elected assistant surgeon to the Salford Royal Hospital in 1889, and maintained his connection with the charity until he retired at an age limit in 1918 with the rank of consulting surgeon. He was also surgeon to the Hulme Dispensary, and president of the Manchester Clinical Society. During the war he received a commission as captain, RAMC, dated 10 November 1914, and was attached to the 2nd General Western Hospital, which had its headquarters at Manchester. After the war he was medical referee to the Salford War Pensions Committee. He married Mary Crockatt Ballantine, who survived him with a son and a daughter. He died on 18 February 1938 at Fernhill, Pendleton, and his body was cremated at Manchester. Of a retiring disposition, Herbert maintained with less brilliance the position held by his father in the surgical world of Manchester.
