CASUALTIES IN THE MEDICAL SERVICES

Captain F. Hardie, R.A.M.C. (T.F.)

Captain Frederick Hardie R.A.M.C. (T.F.), died of wounds on September 20th. He was the only son of Mrs. Hardie, of 12, Dalhousie Terrace, Edinburgh, was educated at Edinburgh University, and after graduating as M.B. and Ch.B. in 1900, went into practice at Southampton. He joined the Third Wessex (Portsmouth) Field Ambulance as lieutenant on October 28th, 1914, and was promoted to captain six months later. After nine months’ field training in England he went to France, where he proved himself a keen and efficient field ambulance officer. He was mortally wounded by a shell just after returning from an arduous tour of duty behind the trenches, and died the same day. His commanding officer in a letter speaks of his constant cheeriness and the regard in which he was held by all ranks, and adds: “During his two years’ active service he has done good work under many dangerous and trying conditions.” Captain Hardie leaves a widow and two children.
