Histórico
Donald Roy was born in Appleton, Roebuck on 22 May 1881. He obtained first-class honours in the natural science tripos from Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge and went on to qualify at St George's Hospital, London in 1906. He started working in various London hospitals (the General Lying-in Hospital, the Royal Free, St George's and the Samaritan Hospital for Women) prior to World War One. He served first in the Navy then transferred to the Royal Army Medical Corp in 1917; by the end of the War he was working in Northampton War Hospital. He returned to London and was finally appointed to the consulting staff of St George's Hospital, where he remained for the rest of his professional life. A Foundation Fellow of the College, he also served as the College Librarian from 1 October 1937 to 25 January 1941 when he stepped down due to ill health (bibliography: Sir John Peel, Lives of the Fellows, pp 325-326).
