George was bon on 18 November 1793, at St. Lawrence, Worcestershire.
He married Catherine Earle in 1815.
George was commissioned as an Assistant Surgeon with the Bengal Medical Service on 30 September 1816.
He arrived in India 11 August 1817, and was attached to Civil Station Gyah, attached to the medical charge of the Civil Station of Bancoosah. The history of the Indian Medical Service (IMS) dates back to 1612 when on the formation of the East India Company into a joint stock business, the Company appointed John Woodall as their first Surgeon General. Under him, medical Corps officers (mainly civilians) were recruited more or less on individual contracts. The company expanded activities in various parts of the country necessitating the formation and |
maintenance of regular bodies of troops in India. As a consequence, they commenced employing Military Surgeons from 1745 onwards. It was not until 1764 that these Surgeons were made into regular establishment of the company's armies. Thus the Bengal Medical Service was formed in 1764, the Madras Medical Service in 1767 and the Bombay Medical Service in 1779 for the three Presidency Armies of Bengal, Madras and Bombay respectively. Three medical services were in due course combined into one Indian Medical Services (IMS) in Apr 1886 under a Surgeon General to the Government of India. The designation was later changed into the Director General, Indian Medical Service. In 1913, the appointment was designated as the Director of Medical Services in India. |
