| McNAB, Dr Peter McNAB, a well known Auckland medical practitioner, died early on Friday at his residence at the corner of Dominion and New North Roads, from pneumonia supervening on influenza. He was 34 years of age. Dr McNab contracted the disease about three weeks ago and although suffering greatly he continued to attend his patients until he reached the point of collapse and had to go to bed. He was born in Auckland, his father being the late Mr Peter McNab, monumental mason. When the call came for doctors for war service, Dr McNab enlisted and left NZ with the 7th Reinforcements with the rank of captain in the NZMC. He served in Egypt and France and subsequently at the NZ base depot at Sling and the NZ Military Hospital at Codford. He returned invalided in March 1917 and resumed his practice in Auckland shortly afterwards. Dr McNab leaves a widow and two children. One of his brothers, Mr W McNab, who is at present farming at Matamata, is a returned soldier. [AWN 21.11.1918] P.55 | |
