He was born in Carshalton, Surrey on 19 December 1920. His father, William Thomas Gordon Pugh, was medical superintendent of Queen Mary’s Hospital for Children, Carshalton; his mother, Elaine Victoria Augusta Pugh née Hobson, was the daughter of a farmer. Pugh was educated at Lancing College and then went on to Jesus College, Cambridge and the Middlesex Hospital Medical School, where he gained the Freeman scholarship in obstetrics and gynaecology in 1944 and qualified in the same year.
He was a house surgeon at the North Middlesex Hospital and served in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve for two years from 1945, on HMS *Glasgow* and HMS *Jamaica*. He then returned to civilian life, as a house surgeon at the Middlesex and Hammersmith hospitals.
In 1950, he joined the Royal Navy on a permanent commission. He served on HMS *Narvik* and HMS *Warrior* and became a consultant in orthopaedics in 1960. He was posted to Royal Naval hospitals in Malta, Haslar and Plymonth. In 1973, he was appointed as a senior medical officer at Plymouth. From 1974 to 1975 he was medical officer in charge of the Royal Naval hospital in Malta. From 1975 to 1978 he was surgeon rear-admiral of naval hospitals and also the Queen’s honorary surgeon. He edited several editions of *Practical nursing* (Blackwood, 16th to 21st editions), a textbook originally written by his father.
