I received this in the mail yesterday from the Royal College of Surgeons of England
 It's a photo copy of a page of The British Medical Journal dated Nov 4th 1916

Obituary

Dr. H.V. Hickman died on October 16th aged 54 at his residence in Wanstead Essex where he had a practised for twenty five years. He was educated at the City of London School and at Guy's Hospital and took the diplomas of M.R.C.S. and L.R.C.P. in 1890 and the degree of M.B. Lond. in 1891.

At Guy's he held the appointments of house - physican and obstetric resident resident and was subsequently ophthalmic assistant for two years.

He represented his hospital at many cup - ties in the three quarter line and held the second for the mile at the inter hospital sports.

He was a member of the British Medical Association and had held the office of chairman of the Walthamstow Division

At the time of his death he was Anaesthetist to the Walthamstow Hospital and medical officer to 5th Battalion Essex ( Volunteer ) Regiment in the work of which he took the warmest interest

A man of fearless honesty and intense kindness of heart - his death is a very keen sorrow to his colleagues and patients.



NB - I sent this to Mike yesterday but thought it would be good to post - just in case anybody else needs the info on this family .......!!!! I have also been trying to find out about his role with "The Essex"  - I think probably at NA - there would be some paperwork but haven't found anything yet!!

Annie -

I'm quite overwhelmed by the help that you and others have posted on the Vigers family.  I am piecing together all the separate bits of information, and I think I can build a fairly full picture. 

Thanks so much for all the research you have done - you have looked in places that I would never have thought of searching.
