Surgeon T. H. Parke, 1890. 'The march from Yambuya to Kavalli, on Lake Albert Nyanza, distant 322 geographical miles..., occupied Mr. Stanley's party above five months - travelling often by winding forest paths, and sometimes making but four or five miles a day, while the scarcity of food, with grievous sickness, dysentery, ulcers, and other miseries, reduced the men to extreme debility, and their number dwindled from 389 to 173 from deaths and desertions. The European companions of Mr. Stanley were...Surgeon Thomas H. Parke, of the Army Medical Service ; Captain R. H. Nelson; and Mr. A. J. Mounteney Jephson...Surgeon Thomas Heazle Parke...is a Licentiate of the King's and Queen's College of Physicians, and of the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland. He entered the Army Medical Service in February 1881, in his twenty-third year, and served in all the Egyptian and Soudan campaigns, being one of the few surgeons who crossed with the desert column under Sir Herbert Stewart; he was in the action at Metemmeh, and, on reaching the Nile, accompanied Lord Charles Beresford's Expedition towards Khartoum. While continuing to serve in Egypt, he was appointed by the Khedive to Stanley's staff, and has shared all the labours and perils of this expedition'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
