He was born in London sixtynine years ago, son of Dr. Achille Vintras, founder of the French Hospital and Dispensary in Shaftesbury Avenue, and of the French Convalescent Home at Brighton. Louis Vintras was educated in France and England, and spoke and wrote French and English with equal facility. He received his medical education at St. Mary's Hospital, qualifying M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P. in 1890. He was a Knight of the Legion d'Honneur, and a Knight and Officer of the Order of the Lion and Sun of Persia, and also held the medal of King Albert of Belgium. He was consulting physician to the French Hospital and director of the French Convalescent Home in Brighton for twentyone years, from 1907 to 1928. In his earlier years he travelled extensively as medical officer in the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company Service in the West Indies and South America, and he also was medical, officer to H.M. Transport Tagus in the Boer War. During the Great War Dr. Vintras was commandant and medical officer to the French Convalescent Home and Auxiliary Hospital in Brighton. He had also been assistant secretary to the French delegates at the Congres, of Hygiene and Demography in London, 1891, and was physician to the Societe des Gens de Lettres. He was for some years a member of the British Medical Association, and had contributed many articles to English and foreign medical journals. Dr. Vintras was possessed of a very charming personality, and when just over a year ago he recognized the fatal character of his illness, his courageous acceptance of the inevitable and his cheerful demeanour throughout were a source of admiration and inspiration to all who came across him. | Vintras, George Charles Louis Bartlett (I46918)

| 56380 | Source: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1316003/Lt-Gen-Sir-Derek-Lang.html LIEUTENANT-GENERAL SIR DEREK LANG, who has died aged 87, was awarded the Military Cross in 1941 for his daring escape from German captivity, and in 1944 was awarded the DSO for gallantry and outstanding service while commanding 5th Battalion the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders. In 1940, Lang went to France as adjutant of the 4th Camerons, which formed part of the 51st Highland Division. This division, having been detached from the main body of the BEF, found itself, after Dunkirk, defending positions south of the Somme. Outnumbered, and menaced from the south by the 5th and 7th Panzer Divisions, the division withdrew to St Valery-en-Caux where, on June 12, after heroic resistance, they were surrounded and forced to surrender. Among the prisoners was Lang, who had been manning a Lewis gun on one of the last boats to leave port when it was ripped open and sunk by German artillery fire from the clifftops. Lang spent a week in hospital before joining a long march of prisoners-of-war into Germany. Seizing an opportunity to break away from the column he made his way to the coast, but was recaptured a week later and taken to a prison camp in Belgium. From here he escaped a second time and, making his way across France, reached Marseilles, where he stowed away in a ship bound for Beirut, in Vichy-controlled Syria. Here he contacted an Englishman who helped him to avoid the attentions of the French police and make his way to Matulla on the Palestine border, where there was an outpost of the Somerset Yeomanry. For this exploit he was awarded the Military Cross. By July 1944, Lang was back in France commanding the Camerons' 5th Battalion (having being offered in error the command of a battalion of the Cameronians). The 5th Battalion, part of the reformed 51st Highland Division, had suffered heavily in the fighting in the Normandy bridgehead. Lang was their fifth commanding officer in six weeks and they had suffered 25 per cent casualties in the previous three. Lang's combination of personal courage, perseverance, and great tactical skill proved inspirational. After leading his battalion during the final phase of the Caen-Falaise battle, he was delighted to be received by the mayor of St Valery, when the Highland Division liberated that town in September. Lang continued to command the 5th battalion in the advance to the Maas during November and December of 1944. Driven by a strong sense of duty, he always made a point of visiting his forward companies, however late the hour and however bad the weather. Despite this, his personal style was far from austere - he once delayed a battalion attack to celebrate, with captured champagne, his daughter's birth, of which he had just been informed. Acting on his own initiative, Lang managed to infiltrate men across the Zig canal to seize and hold a bridgehead. This speeded the whole Army's advance by four days, and he was awarded the DSO. Derek Boileau Lang was born at Guildford on October 7 1913, and educated at Wellington and Sandhurst. A keen sportsman, he represented Sandhurst at rugby, tennis, golf and rackets - but his first love was polo, which he played with great skill. Commissioned into the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders in 1934, he served with the 1st battalion in Sudan before joining the 2nd battalion in Palestine during the Arab rebellion. In February 1938 he was posted, as adjutant, to the 4th battalion, with which he served until his capture in France in 1940. After his escape from Belgium and the journey to Palestine, he joined the 2nd battalion, with which he served as adjutant in the Eritrean campaign, including the battle of Keren, which involved heavy mountain fighting against well-led and determined Italian troops. In August 1941 he was posted to the Middle East Battle School, from which he went, as Chief Instructor, to the School of Infantry at Barnard Castle. In July 1944 he took over command of the 5th battalion, which he commanded until the end of the war in Europe, and with which he won his DSO and was three times mentioned in dispatches. At the end of the war he took over the BAOR School of Infantry at Sennelager, which he ran until 1947, before joining the Staff College, Camberley. There followed staff appointments in Australia, the War Office, the School of Infantry and the Canadian National Defence College. In 1958, he rejoined the 51st Highland Division as Commander of the 153rd Highland Brigade. There followed a period as Chief of Staff at Headquarters, Scottish Command, after which Lang returned to the Highland Division, in 1962, as its Commander. After a spell at the MOD as director of Military Training, he returned to Scotland in 1966, as GOC Scottish Command. Possessed of a quick-fire and inventive mind, Lang was affectionately nicknamed "the Unguided Missile" by his staff. His hand on a shoulder, and the opening words "Dear boy . . . " announced to many a young officer the launch of a new project. Foremost among these was his OPMAC scheme, in which the Army served the community. The scheme went from strength to strength, and memorials to its work, from airfields, roads and bridges to water supplies for individual crofts, are to be found across the Highlands. Lang was appointed CB in 1964 and KCB in 1967, and retired from the Army in 1969. In retirement he continued to play a significant part in the life of the Cameron Highlanders, and after the amalgamation with the Seaforths in 1961, the Queen's Own Highlanders. Having organised the first Highland Division reunion in Perth during his time as commander, Lang remained closely involved in its affairs. He never failed to attend divisional lunches and dinners, and was a leading light of the 60th Anniversary Pilgrimage to St Valery in June last year. Lang's last project was the "Liberating Scots Museum", a new wing of the Dutch National War Museum at Overloon, dedicated to the Scottish regiments involved in the liberation. It is due to be opened by Queen Beatrix later this year. A man of enormous personal charm, Lang took a great interest in people of all ages and conditions; he particularly enjoyed the company of young people and was always keen to hear their point of view. He married first, in 1942, Morna Massy-Dawson, who died in 1953. He married secondly, in 1953, Anita Maclean, who died in 1969. He married thirdly, in 1969, Elizabeth Balfour who died in 1982. In 1983, he married Maartje McQueen who survives him, «u»together with the son and daughter of his first marriage.«/u» | Lang, Lieutenant - General Sir Derek Boileau KCB DSO MC (I48600)

The firm was started in 1817 by Percival Johnson, but in 1851 George Matthey became a partner and the present name was derived from these two partners. A number of milestones in its illustrious history are reviewed, and some of the current activities of the company are brought up to date, in this short article.IntroductionThirty-five years ago a magisterial volume was published by Johnson Matthey on "A History of Platinum and its Allied Metals", but despite its title that book is also a history of the firm itself from 1817 to 1982 (1). The present account marks Johnson Matthey's bicentenary, and is much indebted to that volume; many aspects of the story have also been chronicled by Platinum Metals Review and its 2014 successor, the Johnson Matthey Technology Review. Appropriate references to these journals are given wherever possible. A Platinum Metals Review paper marking the firm's sesquicentenary was published in 1967 (2), and a recent paper notes that Johnson Matthey is one of the oldest British chemical firms still in existence (3). In this survey we concentrate on the firm's formative years and, while highlighting its activities with platinum group metals (pgms), include some of Johnson Matthey's considerable recent non-pgm activities.The Johnsons of Maiden LaneThe forebears of Percival Norton Johnson, who in 1817 became the founder of the precursor of Johnson Matthey, came from a family well acquainted with metal assaying and refining (4, 5). His grandfather John Johnson (1737– 1786) had since 1777 been an assayer of ores and metals, mostly silver, gold and some base metals, at No. 7, Maiden Lane (now part of Gresham Street between Wood Street and Foster Lane, London EC2). His son, also John Johnson (1765– 1831) was apprenticed to him in 1779, and on his father's death took over his business, becoming the only commercial assayer in London. Around 1800 he became involved with the rapidly developing platinum metals industry, using crude 'platina' smuggled to Britain via Jamaica from what is now Colombia. His biggest early customer was probably William Hyde Wollaston (1766– 1826) (6), who made many purchases of platina between 1802– 1819 from Johnson. Wollaston developed a secret process for isolating platinum so pure that it could be fashioned into crucibles, chalices and other vessels and drawn into wires much thinner than a human hair; this business made him wealthy. In addition to isolating rhodium and palladium in 1802 (6, 7), he sold to his friend and partner Smithson Tennant some ore from which Tennant in 1804 isolated iridium and osmium (8, 9).Percival Norton Johnson (1792– 1866), was born on 29th September 1792 at 6– 7 Maiden Lane and was apprenticed to his father John Johnson. In 1812, aged only 19, he established his scientific credentials in a paper showing that platinum alloyed with silver and gold would dissolve in nitric acid (10, 11).The Early Years of Percival Johnson's New FirmThe date of foundation of what 34 years later would be called Johnson Matthey is established as January 1st 1817 (1, 2). On that day Percival Johnson left his father's business and set up his own business as an 'Assayer and Practical Mineralogist' with his brother John Frederick as assistant, although he would later collaborate with his father (2). The year 1817 was also that in which Humphry Davy showed that a platinum wire (almost certainly provided by Johnson) would catalyse the combination of oxygen and hydrogen – the first demonstration of heterogeneous catalysis (12, 13).In 1818 Percival moved to 8 Maiden Lane and in 1822 to 79 Hatton Garden, the latter being expanded in 1850. In 1826 he brought in another talented assayer, John Stokes, renaming the firm Johnson and Stokes in 1832. When Stokes died in 1835, William John Cock (1813– 1892), like Percival Johnson a founder member of the Chemical Society in 1841 (14), joined Percival in the firm which was now called Johnson and Cock. William was the son of Thomas Cock (1782– 1842), Percival's brother-in-law, also an assayer.William Cock was a considerable chemist and metallurgist, devising a new procedure for increasing the malleability of platinum, and published 'On Palladium – Its Extraction, Alloys &c.' (15, 16) in one of the earliest of the Chemical Society's papers. Johnson and Cock produced a platinum medal for Queen Victoria's coronation in 1838, and in 1844 made the platinum from which the standard pound weight was made. Cock resigned in 1845 from ill-health, but continued collaboration; Johnson's firm was now called P. N. Johnson & Co (1).Johnson's Firm Renamed Johnson and Matthey | Johnson, John (I9059)
