Details Charles Greenslade was born in Dunedin, New Zealand and was educated at the Otago Boys' High School before proceeding to the Otago Medical School from where he qualified in 1918. After graduation he immediately enlisted in the 1st NZEF and proceeded overseas for the duration of the war. On discharge from the Army he commenced his postgraduate studies in London, first at St Bartholomew's Hospital and later as resident surgical officer at the Royal Infirmary Sheffield (1921-22) and then assistant superintendent of Paddington Hospital (1922-26). In 1924 he obtained his Fellowship and returned to Dunedin in 1926 to take up the appointment of consultant surgeon and lecturer in surgery at the Otago Medical School. Although Greenslade was basically a general surgeon his chief interest lay in urology and venereology and he was chiefly instrumental in organising the VD clinic in Dunedin which he conducted until his retirement in 1955. He had many interests outside medicine, in particular he will be remembered for his work in Heritage, Rotary, and for his many sporting achievements. He was a district governor of Rotary from 1947-48 and President of Heritage from 1964-66. In his retirement his chief interest was fishing and it was while he was enjoying this pastime on the Eglinton River that he was accidentally drowned on 28 November 1971. He was survived by his wife, son and daughter.

As well as serving as consultant surgeon he was also for many years venereologist at the Infirmary and up to within a week of his death was undertaking occasional locum sessions in the speciality. Bill Holgate was a surgeon with profound knowledge and acute diagnostic ability. His surgical technique was impeccable and he was much loved by those who worked with him and by the many patients who owed so much to his skill and care. A quiet, gentle man who never sought fame and publicity, he was one of those who steered the Health Service through its early days by service on committees of all kinds. His recreation was music, and he applied the same assiduity in its study and expression through his playing of the cello as he had given to the practice of his profession. During his retirement he took part in public performances by ensembles and orchestras throughout Cheshire and the Merseyside areas. His first wife died in 1931. In 1935 he again found happiness in marriage to Monica Gamon, SRN, a member of the staff of Chester Royal Infirmary. They had two daughters. He died on 19 April 1976, aged 79.

He had ideals of the highest order coupled with complete integrity. He was matter-of-fact and had a brisk approach to life, friends and colleagues, but he was most unassuming and was ever ready to help with excellent advice and sympathy when approached.

He continued to be physically active until retirement and never lost his slender athletic form.

Details Born in Dublin on 5 November 1897, the daughter of John Sandes of Greenville, Listowel, Co Kerry, she was educated at Wimbledon High School and the London School of Medicine for Women, since 1947 the Royal Free Hospital Medical School. Her interest in medicine was aroused during her school days by Elizabeth Garrett Anderson. After qualifying in 1922 she became surgical registrar at the South London Hospital for Women and the London Lock Hospital, later becoming consultant at Queen Mary's Hospital, Carshalton and the Mothers' Hospital, London. In addition, she worked as a clinical assistant in the urological department of the Royal Free. She also became consultant to the London Lock Hospital, an appointment she prized, but which disappeared with the advent of the NHS. After retirement in 1962 she was a member of the house committee of the Queen Mary's Hospital for the East End and the house committee of the Mothers' Hospital. She was an active member of the Royal Society of Medicine and of its Section of the History of Medicine. From 1955 to 1957 she was chairman of the Marylebone Division of the BMA and was for many years their representative at the annual representative meetings. She served on the Women's Advisory Committee of the British Standards Institution; as a member of the executive of the Fellowship for Freedom in Medicine and as chairman of the editorial committee of *Mother and child*. She rendered great but unobtrusive service in the care of patients with venereal disease and, in particular, of children who were victims of sexual assault. She was a member of the Standing Committee of Convocation of London University and chairman of the Old Students Association of the Royal Free Hospital, with which she retained an active connection, having been a part-time teacher in the anatomy department for 40 years. In 1929, in conjunction with Dr Evelyn Hewer, she wrote *An introduction to the study of the nervous system*, the first edition of which was so successful that it was reprinted in 1933. She took a great personal interest in all her students whether from home or abroad and made a point of keeping in touch with them after they had completed their studies. Similarly with her patients she took infinite pains to arrange for all their needs over and above those of their medical treatment. An enthusiastic traveller she had visited many countries in Europe and, in addition, the United States, Canada, Russia and S Africa. This enabled her to add constantly to her wide circle of friends and acquaintances. She was an active member of the Irish Genealogical Society and she was a witty and telling debater, always ready to cope with all contingencies, whether those of illness or those produced by authority with which she disagreed. She continued working indefatigably in spite of illness up till the time of her death. She married Dr Maxwell Alston MD, FRCP, and they had one daughter. She practised at 41 Devonshire Street, W1 and died on 17 January 1968, survived by her husband and daughter.
