Major General Sir William Heneage Ogilvie K.B.E., M.Ch., F.R.C.S. (July 14, 1887 – April 15, 1971)[1] was an accomplished British surgeon, medical essayist, and yachtsman.[2]
Early life
Ogilvie was born in Valparaiso, on 14 July 1887 during his British father's engineering career in Chile.[3] In 1910, he attended Clifton College and New College, Oxford pursuing physiology.[3] He then attended Guy's Hospital, a predecessor institution of GKT School of Medical Education, for his medical training and obtained his FRCS by 1920.[4]
Later life
A great deal of Ogilvie's adult life was spent in the British Army, where he served in the Balkan Wars in 1912, the first world war in France, and finally as a consulting surgeon with the Middle East and East Africa Forces in the second world war, attaining the rank of Major-General and KBE.[4]
Ogilvie favoured a low-carbohydrate high-fat diet. He wrote the foreword for Richard Mackarness' book Eat Fat and Grow Slim in 1958.[5]
Joyce Cary's novel The Horse's Mouth is dedicated 'to Heneage Ogilvie'.
Personal life
Ogilvie married Vere Quitter in 1915 and raised three children.[4]
