This is an intimate biography of Ian Macfarlane (1888-1917), who was born at Cruden, Aberdeenshire, and educated at George Watson's College, Edinburgh, and at Edinburgh University. He worked as medical missionary at Nazareth from 1911 to 1914, but had to leave Palestine when Turkey entered the war. After practice at Juniper Green, he took a temporary commission in the R.A.M.C. as a Lieutenant on the 14th April 1915, and was promoted to Captain after a year's service. He first joined a field ambulance with the British Expeditionary Force on the Western Front but transferred to the Egyptian Army, where he was appointed to take charge of an isolation Camp (typhus fever) for Turkish prisoners at Khan Junis, near Gaza. Ian succeeded in completely stamping out the typhus without losing a single case, but contracted typhus fever himself. He died at Kantara.
