Abstract
OF the sad fates that have befallen so many who have helped to win the war for us, the succumbing to an attack of influenza on return home after years of physical hardship in the war zone is of the saddest. That has come to Capt. Robert Chapman Davie, R.A.M.C., a botanist from whom much was expected as teacher and researcher. Capt. Davie crossed the Channel on his way home on January 25, was attacked by influenza two days later, and after a week's struggle died of pneumonia at Largs on February 4.
