FRANK RHODES ARMITAGE (1893-1896 : 34), M.B., D.S.O Captain in the R.A.M.C was the second son of Dr. J Auriol Armitage, whose medical practice in Wolverhampton he succeeded to in 1908.  His later education made a reputation in cricket, football and fives.  Thence he gained a classical scholarship to Pembroke College, Cambridge, where, like his youngest brother Douglas (who has been missing since the battle of Loos, September 1915) he was secretary of the Martletts Society and of the College Mission.  Both at the University and at the London Hospital he distinguished himself as a cross-country runner, but his greatest fame as a sportsman rests on his prowess at golf.  For several years captain of the Wolverhampton Golf Club, he played brilliantly at Tettenhall and was not unknown at St. Andrew’s.  He went to France as a medical officer in the R.F.A in 1915 and received the D.S.O shortly before his death.  His coolness in danger, the fearless acceptance of risks when his help could be given to another, gained him the respect and affection of men and officers.  So long as there was work to be done he never allowed fatigue or want of sleep to stay him.  More than once he escaped death very narrowly, and on July 30^th he was killed in his dug-out by a heavy shell that fell on the roof.
