He is best-remembered for the creation of the Association of Clinical Pathologists, extending its ideals by starting the European Association of Clinical Pathology in 1941 (now the International Society). In a letter circulated to members of the ACP he wrote: 'Mr Winston Churchill has pointed out the duty laid upon each and all is to strive to become 'good Europeans'. This demands an acquaintance and contact with our fellow Europeans closer than we as people have sought or have been sought from us in the past'. Mary Spencer-Churchill (1922-2014) was the youngest of the five children of Winston Churchill and his wife, Clementine. She was the wife of Christopher Soames and created Baroness Soames. In September 1941 Mary joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service and served in one of the new 'mixed' anti-aircraft batteries and the letter refers to an illness she had then. (1)
