Abstract
AMONG those who were on board the Royal Edward when she was torpedoed and sunk in the Ægean Sea was Capt. Charles Bertram Marshall. When last seen he was standing on the deck giving orders to his men to keep cool; and he seems to have died as he had lived, a brave, generous, and unselfish man. Although Capt. Marshall had no intention of devoting himself to purely scientific pursuits, he belonged to that too rare class of medical men who, before embarking upon the practice of their profession, endeavour to obtain a thorough all-round training in the ancillary sciences and experience in original research. In addition to the customary series of hospital appointments, Dr. Marshall held a demonstratorship in anatomy in Manchester University, and carried out a successful investigation in reference to the movements of the stomach and the chemistry of the digestive processes, for which he received the M.D. degree with commendation. He was a man of exceptional ability and charm of character, and he gave promise of accomplishing much in the advancement of the science of medicine.
