Title: Royal College of Surgeons, biographical entry for Matthew H G Fell.

Description: 'In 1921 Fell returned to the RAMC, was knighted as KCB [Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath] in 1922, and for five years he held various administrative posts at home and in Egypt before being appointed Director General of Medical Services in 1926. He was Honorary Physician to King George V, 1926-29. Unfortunately the AMS at this period was severely reduced owing to economy measures, and Fell retired voluntarily in 1929 before the expiration of his term, in the rank of Lieutenant-General. He returned to his home at Ulverston where he played an active part in local affairs, serving as a Deputy Lieutenant of the County and a Justice of the Peace, and was a member of the Flyfishers Club. Fell was a born leader: he was a sound judge of character and as able an administrator as he was a doctor. A notable raconteur, he was a large burly figure with twinkling blue eyes'.
