General Information:
Gethin - 1923 - 'Vidal went on leave and was relieved by Crampton, a very able man but bone lazy. ........... an Irish doctor called Brennan took over with an Indian sub-assistant surgeon. Brennan was very hot tempered and immediately got up against Crampton who tried to boss him. When Crampton got a bout of malaria Brennan took the greatest delight in sticking the bluntest needle he could find into Crampton's backside, much to the latter's annoyance.
