Sir Winston Churchill's doctors on the Riviera 1949-1965: Herbert Robert Burnett Gibson (1885-1967) and Dafydd (David) Myrddin Roberts (1906-1977).

Abstract

In May 1940, Sir Charles McMoran Wilson (later Lord Moran) was on the instigation of Lord Max Beaverbrook and Brendan Bracken, (both patients, then friends of Wilson) introduced to Winston Churchill. Thereafter, he remained Churchill's personal physician until Churchill's death. In his controversial book detailing Winston Churchill's health, Lord Moran refers briefly to two doctors resident in Monaco, who were involved in the management of Churchill's declining health from 1949. One was Scottish, Herbert Robert Burnett Gibson and the other Welsh, Dafydd Myrddin Roberts. The military and civilian careers of these doctors are profiled here.
