Sir. E. B. Sinclair, M.D., 1881. 'At the commencement of his professional career, Sir Edward Burrowes Sinclair entered the Army as Assistant-Surgeon in the "Royal Scots"...Sir Edward has devoted himself to obstetrics, and is now one of the leading physicians in this department of medicine...He was...[Professor] of Midwifery in the School of Physic, Trinity College, Dublin...He is also the efficient secretary of the vaccine department of the Local Government Board for Ireland. The comparatively short military medical experience that Sir Edward Sinclair had afforded him ample evidence of the discomforts, not to speak of dangers, that the wives of soldiers underwent in parturition, from the want of educated midwives to attend them in their hour of trouble...In 1869,...he established [a] school, since which he has sent four hundred well-trained mid wives and female nurse-tenders for service in the Army. This school, to which two or three of the wives of non-commissioned officers or soldiers from regiments serving in Ireland arc sent for training for a period of six months, is under the direct patronage of her Majesty, and has been productive of an immense amount of benefit to the families of her soldiers in all parts of the world'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
