Other Information:

Wilfred was educated at "Lindenthorp." Broadstairs, and Rugby. He entered Guy’s Hospital, taking the diplomas of M.R.C.S. and L.R.C.P. (Lond) in 1911, he then entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge where he took his Science Tripos and commenced his medical studies - graduating B.A., and in 1913 M.B. and B.C. After filling the posts of obstetric resident and house anaesthetist at Guy’s, and of house-surgeon to the West London Hospital and to the Croydon General Hospital, he took a temporary commission as Lieutenant in the R.A.M.C. on 5th October 1914, and was promoted to Captain on completion of a year’s service. Wilfred entered the war in France on 14th May 1915. He was awarded the Military Cross “For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in attending to wounded men belonging to nine different battalions under heavy and continuous shell fire. His aid post was the only one in the vicinity in such a forward position, and he worked continuously and without rest until all the wounded had been attended to, displaying splendid devotion to duty.” [L.G. 9/1/1918 (kindly provided by J Kelleher )] Wilfred was shot by a German at close range while carrying out his duty. He was the third son of Dr. Joseph and the late Elinor Lois Chaning-Pearce of Montague House, East Cliff, Ramsgate, Kent.
