Lieutenant Archibald Browning Smith Drysdale
Rank: Lieutenant
Regiment: Royal Army Medical Corps - Special Reserve
Degree: MB ChB
(Photograph ID: Ch 4/4/2/2/319 Copyright University of Glasgow)
Archie Drysdale was born on 14th October 1895 in Glasgow. He was the eldest son of Robert Steele Drysdale, a colliery agent, and Annie McNeill Stewart. He studied medicine at Glasgow University from 1913, taking classes in surgery, pathology, anatomy and midwifery before graduating MB ChB in June 1918.
He was commissioned into the Royal Army Medical Corps the following September for a three-year period of service. Initially he was sent to the army camp at Squires Gate in Blackpool before being sent to Paris.
One of his early duties was running a field hospital in Northern Italy in charge of 3 prisoners of war doctors and 300 patients. Two of the prisoner of war doctors were from Prussia and the other was a heart specialist from Budapest who he became quite close to. The two men continued to exchange Christmas cards and correspondence for a number of years after this posting. He was later stationed in Austria and Egypt.
While in Egypt one of his roles was to accompany Turkish prisoners of war from Alexandria back to Constantinople. He found this job remarkably easy. The men were so glad to be returning home that they seldom bothered reporting any medical complaints. It was during his time in Egypt that he was promoted to the rank of Captain. He then moved onto his final appointment which was in a military hospital in Jerusalem. On finishing his commission on 10th September 1921 he returned home to Glasgow.
While at home he met one of his old lecturers by chance and was told of a vacant position at the University. He applied and was appointed demonstrator in Anatomy on 6th October 1921. After his year at University he worked as an assistant for Dr Gray in Stanhope, Durham. It was during this time that he met his wife and got married. Archie was also active in the Second World War, running the St John's Ambulance Brigade in Cadishead, Lancashire. He continued working in the medical profession until retirement and then died in his eighties on 8th May 1980 in Lancaster.

Medical visit to Kigali lays foundation for long-term medical exchanges
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Africa
KIGALI, Rwanda – Rwandan Defense Force recently welcomed senior medical officer from U.S. Army Africa and Combined Joint Task – Horn of Africa to Rwanda’s military hospital.
Col. Alfonso Alarcon, U.S. Army Africa’s senior medical officer, and Navy Cmdr. Anthony Battaglia, force surgeon at CJTF-HOA, met with RDF medical officers to discuss future partnership efforts.
“This visit provided a comprehensive assessment of medical health systems to lay the foundation for long-term medical exchanges with the RDF,” Alarcon said. “Our ultimate goal is to share information that improves the RDF’s medical capability and quality of care.”
Some opportunities to build the capacity may include offering first responder mentoring, casualty evacuations and hospital-based surgical and medical expertise, Alarcon said.
When it comes to sharing medical experiences, Rwandan doctors can offer lessons in treating tropical diseases and trauma not often seen by U.S. doctors, Alarcon said.
“The RDF medical service has accumulated many medical lessons learned,” Alarcon said. “Having the RDF share experiences from medical challenges in Darfur peacekeeping and other regional conflicts, offers an opportunity for U.S. medical troops to learn more.”
U.S. Army Africa has partnered with Rwanda in a variety of fields over the past year, to include mentoring in logistics and leadership development. During Natural Fire 10, a humanitarian assistance and disaster relief exercise held in Uganda in October 2009, Rwandan medics also worked alongside military medics from the U.S., Kenya, Burundi, Uganda and Tanzania.
While in Kigali, Charles Murego, M.D., director of the Rwandan military’s medical service, showed the Americans the RDF’s medical clinics and introduced them to several medical officers.
“Discussions with Dr. Murego and the RDF medical teams were productive,” Alarcon said. “There was a sense of mutual respect and understanding.”
