CHARLES AULD, M.R, Ch.B. (Glas.).
It is with very great regret that we note the death
of Dr. C. Auld, of Kentani, Transkei, c.P., which
occurred at Queenstown on the '2nd, at the age of 33.
Dr. Auld had never, since we 'had known him, been
a strong- man, and his health for the last year or two
had been such as to eau e serious anxiety.
Dr. Auld was the son of a missionary in the Transkei.
He was born at Kirn, Argyleshire, but brought
up in the Kentani District. He ''was educated at the
Butterworth High School and at the Boys' High
School, Glasgow. He studied medicine at Glasgow
University, and graduated in I9IO. After a short speII
of work at DenabyMain, in Yorkshire; he returned to
South Africa towards the end of I9IO and became
District Surg-eon of Kentani immediately.
.He married a feliow medical student, who survives
him, and to whom we offer our sincere svmpathy.
Dr. Auld's death is a sad one. He was a young
man of the .type we can the less afford to lose because
it is by no means commOn. "Lovable"· is the word
which comes to our 'mind first when we attempt to
describe his character. A cultured, refined, unobtrusive
gentleman, -he was keenly interested in his work
from both the side of scientific interest and that of
kindly human sympathy for his fellow-men, content
ever to do his duty in the place wherein his lot had
been cast, and yet, sad to say, never getting his chance,
on account of the iIl-health which dogged his footsteps,
and which he bore uncomplaining-Iy.. Had he
had ·his chance he would have made his mark.
Dr. Auld was a nephew of Sir David Bruce.«/i»
