In 1908 Tweedie was appointed Honorary Assistant Surgeon to the Nottingham Children`s Hospital, and in 1911 to the Nottingham General Hospital (Queen`s Medical Centre). Military Service In 1893 he joined the New Zealand Mounted Rifles, and during the Boer War served as civil surgeon. Later service saw Tweedie as a Surgeon Lieutenant in the Kent Artillery (Volunteers) and on the establishment of the Territorials he transferred to the R.A.M.C., in 1908 and took an active part in raising the ambulance of the Notts and Derby Mounted Brigade. Service during the Great War saw Tweedie present at the opening of the Gallipoli Campaign; had command of a large medical organization in Alexandria; served all through the expedition to Tripoli against the Senussi. Later on he administered a large medical district in Upper Egypt and commanded the Citadel Hospital at Cairo. Tweedie was a Senior Medical Officer of a division at the final assault on Gaza, and in pursuit of the Turks in the Jaffa-Jerusalem line and beyond. Tweedie retired from the Territorial Army reaching the rank of Colonel. Post Great War In 1919 Tweedie became an Honorary Surgeon to the Nottingham General Hospital, in 1920 Honorary Surgeon to the newly created Ear, Throat and Nose Department. Other achievements included Vice-President to the Section of Laryngology and Otology at the Annual Meeting of the British Medical Association, meeting in Nottingham in 1926. Tweedie was a prominent Freemason, as a past member of the Royal Sussex Lodge and also at the Provincial Grand Lodge of Nottinghamshire. Described by his peers as "kindly and sympathetic by nature, and full of good humour", and as an after dinner speaker he was very much in demand and had great facility in telling amusing stories. In 1908 Tweedie married Anna the only daughter of Colonel F.W. Mahin, American Consul in Nottingham (see lot 114)
