1898 Aged 22 Graduated from Edinburgh M.B., Ch B (The RAMC is formed)
1899 House physician post at Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh @ £180 p.a.
extracts from Officers' Service Records, obituaries etc -My comments in italics
1900 Medical post at Royal Alexandra Hospital Brighton where did his scoliosis study work-- living at 26 Bedford Square Aged 23.
3 July 1900 Joined Army (as civil surgeon) ref 4861/6512 "Ability good, conduct good" ref 4861/9344 "Paid £1 a day a very attractive rate" per RAMC story
6 July 1900 embarked for S Africa on the HM Troopship Dilwara. Posted "vice H Bryant deceased" . H Bryant had died 7 June at Bloemfontein-"a surgeon in the South African Field Force in the Civil Surgeons & Ambulance Brigade-per Genealogy.com UK Casualties of the Boer War1899-1902"
29 Nov 1900 Saw action in Cape Colony, Orange River Colony, Transvaal & at Rhenester Kop where "saw men mowed down in long waves" "The typhoid bacillus was the main killer though".14000 dead from the disease 6000 killed in action.
28 May 1901 "Recommended for Commission by GOC in C" GOC in C is General Officer Commander in Chief, which at that time in S Africa was General Frederick Roberts -- who subsequently "waived answers to awkward questions in respect of his application to be an officer, put by a suspicious fellow-officer" (ie EGF's illegitimacy etc)

o.p.q. is a difficult one. I would guess that the "q" is quarterly because it was issued by A. G. 2 [Adjutant General 2. A. G. is a person and the 2 is a branch in his department] Could "o" be for officers and "p" be for personnel. The AG branch dealt with personnel matters. [HR in modern day speak!]The "amc" could be a reference for Army Medical Corps Peter

1925 Advt NYC Directory "Expert in Handwriting" 258 Broadway R409
29 Jun1925 died at his home New Rochelle, Westchester, NY
"My father devoted a great deal of his time to a consideration of disputed Wills. …Others have (hidden) their wills in some queer cache (where)….they would not think of concealing even a small amount of money" "Long before his career had passed its zenith, my father estimated that he had affected the courts' decisions as to….. property aggregating over £200million…a large share (being) will disputes"
"When my father died we children hunted high and low for signs of a Will. There was none in his safe-deposit box, nor among any of his papers. My sisters and brothers do not think he ever executed a will. I believe that he did and that he put it away for safe-keeping. Perhaps he had more than one deposit box. Somehow where a will is concerned men cannot help being secretive. When he died he was trying to tell us something but he could not force his lips and tongue to form the words. "Box" he said. "What is it father?" asked one of my brothers. "Box" he repeated. Then he ceased to be able to say anything"
Claire Carvalho Weiller 1929 from "Crime in Ink"
