Edgar was educated at Guy’s Hospital - entering in 1897, he qualified M.R.C.S, L.R.C.P. in 1902. He then held four resident appointments (including assistant house-surgeon and house surgeon by 1903) and was elected president of the resident staff. His chief spoke of his excellent work and influence for good over others as well as of his “tactful administrative powers”. After further hospital experience he was appointed to the epileptic colony at Ewell. He then joined the staff of the London County Asylum, Bexley, where he became senior assistant medical officer. When war broke out he offered his services and received a temporary commission as Lieutenant in the R.A.M.C. in June 1915. He had been in France only about three weeks when he was shot through the chest while attending a wounded gunner, and died immediately. His adjutant wrote of having lost a dear friend and a good comrade, and a message of Royal sympathy was received by his father. A memorial service was held for him at Swan-street Chapel, Loughborough. The super-intendant of Bexley wrote “The psychiatric branch of medicine has suffered a loss of one of its young and promising members. Dr Faulks was a keen observer and an excellent clinician,, and gave promise of becoming a very able administrator. His happy, optimistic, and kindly nature endeared him alike to his patients and to the staff.” Edgar was the son of Arthur and Emma Faulks of Sparrow Hill, Loughborough.
