Other Information:

Gurney was a student at St Bartholomew's Hospital from 1887, where he obtained the diplomas of M.R.C.S. (Eng.) and L.R.C.P. (Lond.) in 1891. He then went on to practice at Fenny Stratford, Bucks. He was described as a staunch Churchman, who helped in the work of the Church of England Men's Society, and was also a lay representative on the Oxford Diocesan Conference. He was, in politics, a Liberal Unionist, who held a seat on the local executive, and as a Freemason was Provincial Grand Senior Warden of Buckinghamshire. Gurney took a deep interest in education as a county school manager, and was chiefly responsible for starting summer swimming classes for the boys. Because of all his public activities he spent most of his spare time in his garden. When war was declared, Gurney joined the R.A.M.C., Territorial Force, with a commission as Captain, and entered the war in the Dardanelles during June 1915. He became ill with dysentery, and died on H.M. Hospital Ship" Guildford Castle" and was buried at sea. Gurney was the son of the late Samuel and Jane Lawson Buxton.
