A recent vet discovery by @forumauctions, acquired by a lucky collector/library, is Bracy Clark's Reflective Diary, the existence of which was known (1859 pamphlet). So I thought over the next week I'd post snippets from his reflections. #ReflectionFTD @RCVSKnowledge @VetHistSoc

Back after lunch, and our afternoon programme kicks off with Mike Hinton on a mock ‘trial’ at a local @BritishVets (then the NVMA) meeting in Kent in 1928 - staged with 2 lawyers, one a barrister who was also a vet, Major Duncan FRCVS.

Clients included Arthur Conan Doyle! Probably bonded with Dier over Labradors, which they both had. Various other relatives were vet practitioners or pharmacists. One (grandfather) served in WW1 in army veterinary corps.
