Book Description

About the Book "A History of the Indian Medical Service 1600-1913" comprises two volumes, each offering a detailed exploration of the service's evolution. Volume one traces the origins from European surgeons' roles in oriental territories, detailing key figures and events across regions like Surat, Bombay, Madras, and Bengal. It discusses foundational aspects such as commissions, ranks, and appointments, providing a comprehensive understanding of the service's early history. Volume two delves into the administrative framework, diverse medical roles, and post-retirement engagements. It scrutinizes uncovenanted services, war contributions, and societal impacts, offering insights into medical education and journalism. Together, the volumes provide a thorough examination of the Indian Medical Service's historical context, organizational structure, and future prospects.

About the Author Dirom Grey Crawford (1857-1942), an Indian-born British physician and Indian Medical Service (IMS) officer, rose to lieutenant colonel before retiring in 1911. During World War I, he served on hospital ships, earning mention in dispatches. Renowned for his works "History of the Indian Medical Service 1600-1913" and "Roll of the Indian Medical Service 1615-1930," detailing 6,156 IMS officers' biographies, including his own.

Preface MY interest in the history of the Indian Medical Service was first aroused in 1884, when I was serving as Resident Surgeon of the Medical College Hospital, Calcutta, by reading an article by the late Surgeon Major Norman Chevers, in the Calcutta Review for 1854. No. 45, Vol. XXIII, entitled Surgeons in India, past and present. This article was nominally a review of the List of Medical Officers of the Indian Army, compiled in 1839 by Messrs. Dodwell and Miles, a long-dead firm of East India Agents. This work purports to give a list of all medical officers serving in the three Presidencies, from the foundation of the Service in 1764, up to 1838, with the dates of their commissions in each rank, and of their death or retirement. In the previous year, 1838, the same firm had pub-lished a list of combatant officers serving in the armies of the three Presidencies from 1764 to 1837. I found a copy of this Medical List in the Medical College Library glanced over it, read it, and then studied it carefully. I then began to bring the list up to date, for my own amusement, and in so doing found that it was very imperfect. The information given is usually correct, as far as it goes, but the list is far from complete. I have gradually collected the names of some two hundred medical officers who served in India during the seventy-four years the list covers, whose names are not included in the list. I had some vague idea of publishing the results of my researches at some future time, 1.c. Dodwell and Miles' list, with the additional information I had acquired about the period it covers, and that necessary to bring it up to date. Such a list, it appeared, would be the better for some prefatory notes on the history of the Service. This proposed preface has gradually grown into the present large book.
