George Edgar Pugin Meldon (1875-1950), M.D. (Dublin) 1898, F.R.C.S. (Ireland), was the son of Dr. Austin Meldon, President of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, and served with the Royal Army Medical Corps during the Great War on the Western Front from September 1917. In his obituary, published in The Irish Times on 3 July 1950, it was reported that ‘During the Rising of 1916 he acted with great gallantry in bringing in wounded under fire. The “following resolutions [by the Board of Directors of the Royal City of Dublin Hospital] were unanimously passed: ‘That reviewing the terrible events of the past few weeks, when the resources of the hospital were taxed to the utmost in treating upwards of 200 casualties, the Directors desire to place on record their warm appreciation of the services of those who responded to the extraordinary and unforeseen calls made upon their skill and energy, especially the members of the medical, surgical, and nursing staffs, who proved their efficiency under very trying circumstances, as they were working often under fire, and always at considerable personal risk. The Board do not find it possible to refer by name to all who shared in the work, but they cannot refrain from expressing their most grateful thanks to … Dr G Pugin Meldon …’”.’ His name was subsequently included in a list of civil medical practitioners brought to the notice of the Secretary of State for War for valuable medical services rendered in the United Kingdom in connection with the war, March 1919.
