Interestingly, by the time these records appear in 1921, this Assistant Surgeon is listed as IMD and not ISMD. The word “subordinate” was finally dropped in 1919 – this was the year it no longer appeared in The London Gazette. The deputation to Calcutta in 1914 was in pursuit of this aim, amongst others.
Thelma Cramb (nee Ferguson) has advised “As "As the daughter of an Assistant Surgeon I know how often they were transferred from one station to another - I was born in [[Dagshai]] (Simla Hills) in 1928 - my sister b. 1926 in [[Kasauli]] - another in 1924 in [[Bareilly]] - and another in 1922 in Chowbutia ([[Naini Tal]] I think !!) Happy days spent in [[Poona]] with other I.M.D. families.”"
