About

From: Dr. Walter William Chamberlain | The BMJ

We regret to record the sudden death, on July 28th, 1923, of Dr Walter William Chamberlain of Rawdon, near Leeds, at the age of 62. Dr Chamberlain graduated M.B., C.M. at Edinburgh University in 1887, and was afterwards house surgeon at Halifax Infirmary. He settled at Rawdon twenty-seven years ago and built up an extensive general practice there. He was medical officer of health to the Rawdon Urban District Council, and was honorary medical officer to the Mitchell Memorial Home, Rawdon.

A few months ago he was decorated by the King of the Belgians for his services to the Belgian and allied troops who were under his care at various institutions at Rawdon during the war. Dr Chamberlain held a high position in the estimation and affection of the residents of the district. He leaves a widow, two sons and a daughter.

Sir Berkeley Moynihan, in the course of an appreciation in the Yorkshire Post, writes: “Dr Chamberlain was one of the best types of general practitioner, and was greatly beloved and trusted by all his patients and by a multitude of friends. He knew his professional subjects well, and he devoted himself with great care and the most painstaking and unremitting attention to all the details of his cases; to the happiness of his patients no less than to their material welfare.

“His judgment rarely erred, and a long experience had given him the power to foresee the possible developments of an illness, and the knowledge to check or avoid its consequences… he was among the most popular of men; always cheery, considerate for the words and acts of others, willing to undertake another man’s difficulties or to listen to his opinions.”
