Sir Frederick Treves, 1st Baronet GCVO CH CB FRCS (15 February 1853 - 7 December 1923) was a prominent British surgeon, and an expert in anatomy. Treves was renowned for his surgical treatment of appendicitis, and is credited with saving the life of King Edward VII in 1902. He is also widely known for his friendship with Joseph Merrick, dubbed the "Elephant Man" for his severe deformities. George Goodchild (1888?1969), also known as Alan Dare, Wallace Q. Reid, and Jesse Templeton, was a British writer of popular books, short stories, plays, and a writer and director of several movies. Over 200 Goodchild works were published during his lifetime and posthumously. His notable literary characters include Inspector McLean, spy catcher Q33 Trelawney, Nigel Rix, and Trooper O'Neill. Goodchild's films include Colorado Jack (1921), Bucking the Barrier (1923), The Public Defender (1931), Condemned to Death (1932), Trooper O'Neill (1932), and No Escape (1936). This book is an inspiring collection of stories, poems and humour by those involved in fighting in the Great War. Ref P 1.
