Capt John Parkinson wrote:- “I had many opportunities of learning to know Batchelor both in the Cardiac Department at the " London " and in France, where he was a colleague at a clearing station for many months. His sense of personal responsibility was keen. He had many qualities fitting him for his research work before the War, particularly his exactness tirelessness, and capacity for methodical work. Some of his observations and records remain unpublished because of the war. He was of a modest and retiring disposition, and as one got to know him more and more there was revealed a man of high and firm character with a steady, happy outlook on life. It did ore good to know him and to be associated with him in work and in leisure. No one could have been more thoughtful and kind. He was unquestioning and unselfish in whatever he held to be his duty, and this was shown in his life as in his honourable death." Henry was the eldest son of Dr H T and Mrs Batchelor of Queenstown, Cape Colony; and the husband of Kathleen Mary (younger daughter of the Rev. P H Kempthorne, rector of Wyck Risington, Gloucestershire) of Pentewan, Cornwall. - married in 1916, they met in France.
