Max Herschel Montesole
A London Doctor in Peace and War
Max Herschel Montesole (1882–1937), the eldest son of Max Edward Montesole, husband of Kate Marion Heaton and son-in-law of Kate Heaton (neé Petter), qualified as an MBBS from St Thomas Hospital in 1907, when he was 25.
Max Herschel Montesole (1882–1937), the eldest son of Max Edward Montesole, husband of Kate Marion Heaton and son-in-law of Kate Heaton (neé Petter), qualified as an MBBS from St Thomas Hospital in 1907, when he was 25.
He married Kate in 1909, giving his address as The Manor House, East India Dock Road, Poplar, originally the Sheriff of London’s residence but after the 1870s a doctors’ commons of two large houses where several doctors ministered to whoever came through the door, often for no fee for the poorest. And in Poplar, the poor were very poor indeed, largely casual workers in the East India and West India Docks on the banks of the river Thames, with their families crammed into decaying slum housing; living space had been compromised by the driving of the railway through the East End of London, putting great strain on the sewage system and causing frequent water contamination.
The Poplar Workhouse was ‘the size of a small town’ where the able-bodied indigent were put to work; the aged went to the Workhouse in the neighbouring borough of Stepney and the sick to the Poplar Asylum. Herschel (his brother, the actor Max Montesole, used the name Max) was born in inner-city Islington, but the family of two parents, six sons and a daughter had by 1901 moved upmarket to 270 Wightman Road in the newly built Estate laid out by the Great Northern Railway Company in the Hornsey/Harringey suburbs. Herschel could have entered a medical practice in these more prosperous local surroundings, but seems to have made a socially conscious decision to work where typhoid, cholera (both water-borne diseases), typhus and tuberculosis (diseases of dirt and overcrowding) were rife in the insanitary tenements, and the average life expectancy was 37 years old. In 1911, The Medical Register, in its announcement of his election as a Member of the British Medical association (BMA), lists him as living in 18 Russell Mansions, Coram Street Bloomsbury: had he moved to work in Thomas Coram’s Foundling Hospital, whose charter was ‘the education and maintenance of exposed and deserted young children’ taken off the streets and treated for diseases such as dysentery and smallpox? On 20 May 1915, at just 33, he was elected as a Freeman of the City of London, presumably in recognition of his work.
On 7 April 1915, The London Gazette lists Herschel as a Temporary Lieutenant in the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC), the non-combatant corps delivering medical services to an infantry or artillery regiment, in Herschel’s case the 2nd Royal Fusiliers (the City of London Regiment). In his mid-thirties and in a reserved occupation as a doctor, he had no need to enlist, but perhaps the fact that his brothers were fighting influenced his decision. (The Montesoles were among the handful of British families to send five sons to the Front: Max abandoned his life as an actor to join the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force, and survived the war to make a glittering career in America; Eric died of wounds on 4 March 1916 at the Hohenzollen Redoubt in Loos; Herbert was killed by a shell at Festubert on the Somme on 17 March 1915; Allan served in the Machine Gun Corps, and survived the war. Edward, the second son, was in a reserved occupation as a director of Mulliners, a coachbuilding firm commandeered to make ordnance and munitions.) The 2nd Fusiliers served in Gallipoli and Egypt early in the war and were almost wiped out by disease. They entered the Western Front at Marseilles in March 1916, and Herschel’s Medal Rolls Index states that he became a Temporary RAMC Captain in May. In the summer/early autumn of 1916 the 2nd Fusiliers fought at Ginchy on the Somme, in the attritional and costly action around Arras in 1917, and on the Somme again in 1918, when several divisions were destroyed.
Herschel would have been the Medical Officer in a Casualty Clearing Station (CCS), set up in an abandoned farm or ruined building a few miles behind the front lines, but still dangerously vulnerable to shelling and, after the battle of Ypres in April 1915, gas attack. CCSs moved location to follow the fighting but where possible stayed close to a railway line so that the most severely wounded could be evacuated to hospital. He would have had some surgical equipment and a rudimentary operating theatre, but many soldiers who made it that far would have died of infection or disease; the chain of casualties he received would have come first from a regimental aid post set up in a deep shell hole on the battle line itself, which could administer first aid and some pain relief, and then from an advanced dressing station in an underground bunker or dugout where wounds could be treated. Since they had no holding capacity, casualties had to make it to the CCS on foot or stretcher, often under bombardment.
At some time in 1918, Herschel was seriously wounded; he was awarded the Silver Badge as someone honourably discharged on account of wounds or illness.
He seems to have returned to medical practice until 1928, but we do not know if his marriage survived the strain of war: at his death in 1937, probate did not go to Kate. We have also found only one child, Katherine, born in 1914; one would expect a child or children to have been born in 1910–1913 and one can speculate that if he was doing paediatric work at Coram Fields, he may have been motivated, like Alice Edith Vlieland, by personal experience of child loss (we remember that Alice Edith’s mother, Phoebe Coulson, was one of 11, only 5 of whom survived into their teens, and Alice’s own eldest sister Helena predeceased her at the age of 18 months).

Louise Murray
On a rainy day with nothing new and inspiring to do .I always go back to the start of this blog and the people in it.
Today we go back to what, we think are the children of Catherine Fris and therefore the brother and sisters of Jerome .
allthough the birthdates do not match it is a good guess (untill proven otherwise.)
We first find them in the census of 1841.
Together with three other people .
We do not know ,if they just live together, in for instance a lodging house or if they were working together.So we will try to find out more about all of them.
But we hope for a new clue.
One of them is Louise Murray.
according to this census we try to find the birth dates.
Susan Vlieland F 30-34 Foreign she is born about 1811
John Vlieland M 45-49 Foreign he is born abt 1791 and he is a mariner
Mary Vlieland F 28-32 Foreign born about 1813
Louise Murray F 38-42 she is born about t 1803
Ann Brown F 24-28 Norfolk born about1817
Elizabeth Brown F 18-22 Norfolk born about 1823
On the question: where born she answers N .and she is independent.
so we start looking fo a Louise Murray born about 1803
And as we think there maybe a connection to Holland or France we search all over Europe.
The only one we can find is the one in Prussia, a part of Germany .
We know a lot about Prussia as our ancestors sailed for a while under Prussian flag to avoid the wars.

Moderate attendance
On Monday evening last there was
only a moderate attendance at the
Albany Town Hall to hear the famous
Max Montesole and Elsie Mackay.
Mr. Montesole is a powerful charac-
ter actor and his vivid portrayals of
the various scenes are the work of a
finished artist.
The recital opened with two num-
bers by David Lyle, tenor, who was
enthusiastically received for his ren-
dering of "Homing" (-) and
"Sally Horner" (Traditional).
Mr. Montesole then offered his
adaptation of Oscar Wilde's "The Bal-
lad of Reading Gaol," and in drama-
tic manner described the feeings of a
fellow prisoner for a man condemned
to be hanged for the murder of the
woman he loved. A piece of very
powerful acting, this number received
enthusiastic plaudits.
Miss Josephine Kemp was well re-
ceived for the rendering of (a) "Se
quedillas op. 232, No. 5" (I. Albeniz)
and (b) "En Bateau (In a boat) op.
30 No. 1" (Camille Zechwer). .
As Lady Macbeth in Shakespear's
"Macbeth" (Act 5, Scene I., the sleep
walking scene) Miss Elsie Mackay
gave a convincing portrayal of the
woman who had done King Duncan to
death.
The immortal characters of Charles
Dickens were brought to light when in
Mr. Montesole's characterisation of
¡the hypocritical Uriah Heep from
David Copperfield.
David Lyle then pleased his audi-
ence with three songs, "A Spirit
Flower" (Campbell Tipton), "I Hear
You Calling Me" (Charles Marshall),
and "Londonderry Air" (arr. by Nor-
man Weir).
Miss Kemp's next offerings were
(a) "Cascades" and "Jazz Goblins"
(both by Baie da Costa), both of
which were very heartily received.
A playlet entitled "Domestic In-
terior 1935," showed the versatility of
both Mr. Montesole and Miss Mackay,
it being a light commentary' on the
times (written by Max Montesole) in
which the husband arriving home bite
from golf on his wife's birthday, has
to explain his way out of several j
awkward situations. The moral "that
each must give and take a little" ÔÏ
the tale, is depicted at the Conclusion,
in which the couple emerge on better
terms.
After interval Max Montesole and
Elsie Mackay were again seen toge-
ther as Othello and Desdemona, in i
Shakespeare's "Othello" (Act 5, Scene
2-the death scene of Desdemona), a
particularly dramatic part pf $U6 well
known play. ' l"
Daviq Lyle chose (a) "Annie
Laurie" (Lady John Scott) and (b)
"Mary" (T. Richardson), for his final
appearance.
Two pianoforte solos (a) "Andante
Finale de Lucia de Lammermoor"
(left hand only) (M. Leschetzky), and
(b) "Une Tabatière a Musique, op. 32"
(Anatole Liadow) were offered by
Miss Josephine Kemp and received en-
thusiastic applause for her fine ren-
derings.
Miss Mackay then recited two typi-
cal Australian poems (a) "My Coun-
try" (Dorotheo Mackellor) and (b)
"Coolgardie is Calling You" (E. G.
"Dryblower" Murphy).
Mr. Montesole -chose another Dip
kens' character foe hts ¿nat item in
the part pf Fagin the Jew in Oliver
Twist." The scene depicted was that
where the cunning Jew, who is in
prison to be hanged, starts to rave
and in so doing goes over a part of
the trial scene, seeing in his imagina
I tion tiie judge who ' condemned iiiin.
The closing scene is here" he'falls to'
the floor in a fit of frenzy as the pri-
son bell rings when the warders come
to take him to his end.

writer Jerome Nicholas
great southern herald 2 June 1950
LEISURE READING
Jerome Nicholas has already proved
himself worthy of room on your book-
case shelves with his previous novels,
"The Widow's Peak," "The Asbestos
Mask" and "Whispering Steel." His
latest novel, "Salute to Tomorrow"
lives up to earlier expectations and
will be welcomed by all readers who
enjoy a well-written book with an
excellent plot and swift moving
action. The story centres around
Jane Menzies who, immediately be
fore the war, rejects her fiance in a
fit of pique and marries German dip
lomat Heirnrich Reinhardt. Ex-fiance
Ian Blount next meets Jane when she
helps him out of Germany early in
the war and after her husband has
proved himself to be an utter swine.
From there the story moves into a
gripping game of move and counter
move between England's famous M 16
and its Nazi opposition. Both Ian
and Jane have their parts to play
and even the most blase reader will
find it difficult to put down "Salute
to Tomorrow" until the last page is
turned- Even though a story of
espionage, it is not a war book. Pub
lished by Hodder and Stoughton, Lon
don, "Salute to Tomorrow" sells in
Australia for 9/6 and copies are avail
able from Barkley and Gilbert.
