Abstract
WE regret to record the death on August 15, at the age of sixty-seven years, after many years of suffering due to extensive X-ray injuries, of Dr. J. F. Hall-Edwards. He was educated at King Edward's School and at Queen's College, Birmingham, and after qualifying in medicine he went into practice. Soon after the discovery of X-rays, Dr. Hall-Edwards took up their application in medical work and was one of the earliest authors in radiography. He served in the South African War as surgical expert in X-ray work to the Imperial Yeomanry Hospitals at Deelfontein and Pretoria, receiving the Queen's medal with four clasps. In spite of disabilities which might well have deterred him from any further executive work, he applied for and received a commission as temporary Major in the R.A.M.C. at the outbreak of war in 1914, and served in a radiological capacity to such effect that official recognition of his services was made on two occasions. He was an honorary member of the Rontgen Society and the author of several original papers in the journals of this Society and of the Electro-therapeutic Section of the Royal Society of Medicine.
