<p><s>In the year 1878 I took my degree of Doctor of Medicine of the
University of London, and proceeded to Netley to go through the
course prescribed for surgeons in the Army. </s><s>Having completed
my studies there, I was duly attached to the Fifth Northumberland
Fusiliers as assistant surgeon. </s><s>The regiment was stationed in
India at the time, and before I could join it, the second Afghan war
had broken out. </s><s>On landing at Bombay, I learned that my corps
had advanced through the passes, and was already deep in the enemy's
country. </s><s>I followed, however, with many other officers who
were in the same situation as myself, and succeeded in reaching
Candahar in safe . . .
