Jeffrey StreetI proudly sponsored a banner this year in #Madoc Ontario for its annual remembrance program honouring local veterans — a highly commendable initiative. Mine remembers Dr Colin Scott Dafoe (1909-1969), with the #RAMC motto In Arduis Fidelis — “faithful in adversity.”
I was curious about Dr Ian Mackenzie, the first #RAMC surgeon who parachuted into #Yugoslavia to lead a #SOE medical mission there, with Operation Typical, during the #SWW. A brave man. https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1935835/pdf/canmedaj01193-0051.pdf
Norbert Holstein#Herbaria are not just about #plants but also about #history. #CuratorLife is also about learning about collectors. Today, I solved the mystery of a collector from India, "Col. R.S. Vine". It's Roland Stephen Vine (1910-2003). He was with the #RAMC, the Royal Army Medical Corps, and stationed in India between 1936 and 1939. That's when we have his collections from India from. But he also collected in the UK and Greece but those collections are in Kew #Herbarium.
I am trying to identify two British #RAMC sergeants who accompanied Major Colin Scott Dafoe into eastern Bosnia in May 1944: Chris Real (7371113) and Frank Oxley (service no unknown). Real later went to Malaysia with #SOE. Oxley is the greater mystery. Was his name Frank, Francis? Was that his first or middle name? What happened to him after 1944? If anyone has ideas about how I can positively identify these two fellows, please let me know.
