Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reminiscences of Three Campaigns
The north-eastern district of Scotland experienced to the full the fascination of the great philanthropic movement. Besides the already mentioned Aberdeen Ambulance Associa tion for the succour of the injured in civil life, there were raised, for the wounded in war, under the encouragement of Surgeons - Major Evatt and Peter Shepherd, and of Dr. James Cantlie in London, the Volunteer Bearer Companies of the Aberdeen University. The activities of both of these were great. With the support of the late Mr. William Smith, advocate, classes of first aid for the police, railway officials, and others of the community were taught and largely attended in our city and surrounding districts; while Dr. Alexander Macgregor and others developed the University Bearer Companies into large and enthusiastic units of high efficiency, which embraced the ?ower of our medical students.
