36381	Douglas, a signalman first class of the U.S. Coast Guard, died heroically on Guadalcanal 27 Sep 1942, after successfully completing his voluntary assignment to evacuate a detachment of Marines from a point where enemy opposition developed beyond anticipated dimensions. His final words were, "Did we get them all off?" They had! He was only 22 years old. For this action, he was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor by President Roosevelt. He is the only member of the U.S. Coast Guard ever to have received this honor. Following is a copy of the citation: The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the MEDAL OF HONOR posthumously to DOUGLAS ALBERT MUNRO, SIGNALMAN FIRST CLASS, UNITED STATES COAST GUARD for service as set forth in the following CITATION: "For extraordinary heroism and conspicuous gallantry in action above and beyond the call of duty as Officer in Charge of a group of twenty-four Higgins boats engaged in the evacuation of a battalion of Marines trapped by enemy Japanese forces at Point Cruz, Guadalcanal, on September 27, 1942. After making preliminary plans for the evacuation of nearly five hundred beleaguered Marines, MUNRO, under constant strafing by enemy machine guns on the island and at great risk of his life, daringly led five of his small craft toward the shore. As he closed the beach, he signaled the others to land and then in order to draw the enemy's fire and protect the heavily loaded boats, he valiantly placed his craft, with its two small guns, as a shield between the beachhead and the Japanese. When the perilous task of evacuation was nearly completed, MUNRO was killed by enemy fire, but his crew, two of whom were wounded, carried on until the last boat had loaded and cleared the beach. By his outstanding leadership, expert planning and dauntless devotion to duty, he and his courageous comrades undoubtedly saved the lives of many who otherwise would have perished. He gallantly gave up his life in defense of his country." /s/ FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT Douglas was raised and educated in S. Cle Elum, Washington. His interests were the patterns of most young men. He loved to ski, swim and especially roam and camp in the mountains near his home. Douglas was a natural leader and he enjoyed working with others. He trained young boys in the drum and bugle corps and served as a Drum Major in high school and at Central Washington College of Education. In 1939, he left college to enlist in the U.S. Coast Guard, "because the Coast Guard is dedicated to saving lives," he told friends. He had an outstanding record and was promoted rapidly through the various ratings to signalman, first class. He was shot in the head and killed while evacuating 500 Marines who were pinned down by Japanese fire on a beach on Guadalcanal. In December 1970, then Secretary of Transportation, John A. Volpe eulogized Douglas in New Orleans, Louisiana, at the launching of the 378-foot cutter USSCGC MUNRO. A statue of Douglas was unveiled at the Coast Guard Recruit Training Center, Cape May, New Jersey, on 27 September 1989. The Training Center's main street, Munro Avenue and a recruit barracks, Munro Hall, were named after him.

36392	Dr. Edward Thomas Monro received his early education at Harrow. He entered Oriel College, Oxford, where he graduated B.A., Second Class, on 4 May 1809, M.A. on 28 Jun 1810, B.M. on 24 Oct 1811, and M.D. on 25 Jan 1814. He was admitted as a Candidate of the College of Physicians on 27 Dec 1816, and was Censor in 1819, 1829, and 1837. He delivered the Harveian Oration in 1834, and was an Elect on 30 Sep 1842. Upon the resignation of his father in Jun 1816, he was appointed Principal Physician of Bethlehem Hospital, being the fourth in direct succession, from father to son, in that highly important and responsible office. He served as treasurer of the College of Physicians, London, from 1845 to 1856. A remarkable feature of his professional life is that having attended some four hundred commissions and trials in lunacy, only on two occasions did his evidence differ from the verdict, and in both these instances the decisions arrived at were afterwards set aside. His evidence was remarkable for clearness and force, and was much valued by the legal profession. References: (1) "History of the Munros of Fowlis" by A.

36394	Dr. George Munro was born and educated in New Zealand. He spent several years on the staff of the Radio Research Board in the United Kingdom, and in 1929 accepted a position with the newly formed Australian Radio Research Board (RRB), the aim of which was to foster and support radio research in the universities. On arrival in Australia, he joined a group of the RRB in the University of Melbourne and, after several years, transferred to a group in the Electrical Engineering Department of the University of Sydney, with which he spent much of his working life. At this time, the work of Kennelly and Heaviside, who postulated the existence of a conducting layer surrounding the earth, had aroused world-wide interest and had stimulated intensive research, much of it theoretical, into the properties and behaviour of such a layer and its effect on the propagation of electromagnetic waves. George brought to the RRB the benefit of his talent and experience in devising ingenious experimental methods of measurement, (He had even set up equipment on board ship on his way to Australia, to survey sources of atmospherics over most of the world. Continuing this work in Melbourne, he was able to provide valuable data necessary for the successful planning of the national broadcasting network, as well as forecasts for Kingsford Smith on his first Trans Tasman flight.) George's work in Sydney was directed mainly to measurement of conditions in the ionosphere. He established a field station at Liverpool, about 25 km from Sydney University, which became a valuable experimental facility. World War II brought a halt to these activities and most of the RRB staff, including George, were transferred to form a nucleus of the CSIR Radiophysics Laboratory and of the Ionospheric Prediction Service. The remoteness of Australia at that time was a serious obstacle to most scientific work there and delays in exchanging information with the rest of the world were unacceptable. Munro was chosen to go to London to establish and operate a Scientific Liaison Office to exhange information between Australia and England, particularly on radar. This mission was followed by a similar one in 1941 to the USA where he was appointed an attache at the Australian Legation in Washington and Scientific Adviser to the resident Minister, R. G. [later Lord] Casey. For a time he also served New Zealand in a similar capacity. The demands of his office extended far beyond radar and his staff was gradually increased to deal successfully with them. On his return to Australia in 1946 he was recalled to head the Radio Research Laboratory in the University of Sydney, where he resumed his pre-war investigations and developed special equipment for examining the movements of great waves travelling in the ionosphere with a speed of 10 km per minute. This was achieved by building three transmitters spaced about 50 km apart and recording on film the reflections of their pulsated signals from the ionosphere. This work was published by the Royal Society in 1950 and led to the award of a doctorate by the University of New Zealand. This award was of special significance, since his first publication [The Reflecting Layer of the Upper Atmosphere] was written in 1928 while he was a Research Scholar in New Zealand. It described the first observation of this kind in the Southern Hemisphere and established him as one of the pioneers of ionosphere research. On his retirement in 1966 he continued to work in the University of Sydney for a decade while maintaining also the laboratory at his home in the Blue Mountains [west of Sydney] where his interest in radiophysics continued until his final illness. He also took a prominent part in the prevention and control of bush fires which in summer threatened many homes in the area. He and his wife were widely resspected in the community around them. His death in 1994 brought to an end a half century of distinguished contributions to the knowledge and understanding of the passage of radio waves through the space around us.

36397	Dr. Henry Monro received his early education at Harrow. He entered Oriel College, Oxford, in 1834, where he graduated B.A. on 6 Jun 1839, B.M. on 14 Jun 1844, and M.D. in 1863. (It is believed that "1863" is incorrect.) He was elected Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 1848, Censor in 1861, 1862, and 1863, and Councillor in 1864-1865, and 1875-1877. He was a member of the council of the Royal Medical Chirurgical Society, and of the Medical Psychological Association. He served as President of the latter in 1864-1865. He served as Consulting Physician to St. Luke's Hospital in London for nearly thirty years. He lived at 13 Cavendish Square in London and was fifth physician in direct descent in the London branch of the family of Fyrish, Contullich, and Kildermorie, who attained an eminent position in the same profession - since 1772, a period of more than a century and a half - a circumstance quite unique, it is believe, in the annals of English medical science. He published "An Essay on Stammering: its Nature and Treatment," in 1849; "Remarks on Insanity: its Nature and Treatment," in 1851; "Articles on Reform in Private Lunatic Asylums," in 1856; on the "Nomenclature of Insanity"; and other works. In 1846, he founded the House of Charity in Rose Street, Soho Square, London - a house for the destitute and friendless, chiefly those whose distress and helplessness was brought on through no fault of their own - and for forty years he worked at this flourishing institution with unfailing energy and devotion. Henry's protrait, and those of his four distinguished medical predecessors, belonging in direct male line to the same family, adorned the walls of the Royal College of Physicians, those of his father and himself painted by Dr. Henry, and all the five presented by him.
