"Brigade Surgeon William Edmondson Dudley, R.A.M.C.(ret.), died at Bath on April 13th, aged 86. He was educated in the school of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, took the L.A.H. and L.R.C.S.I. in 1862, and the L.R.C.S.Ed. in 1863, and entered the army as assistant surgeon in April, 1863. In the old regimental days he served for five years in the 76th Foot, now the 2nd battalion of the Duke of Wellington's West Riding regiment. He became surgeon major in 1876, and retired, with a step of honorary rank, in 1884. He served in the Zulu war of 1879 with the 3rd Foot, the Buffs, and received the medal with a clasp".
