1 and 2 April 1917
Arrived London. Met Bruce also Frank Ross and Hollingsworth.
Called on H&C ( Harrison & Crosfield)
Saw Canny(?) Ryall 77 H St.

An interesting entry. 77 H St. suggests Harley Street and Canny Ryall turns out to be Edward Canny Ryall an eminent Urology Surgeon who a few years earlier had established the All Saints Hospital. Certain of the instruments he developed are still used today ( The Canny Ryall Retractor). Researching Ryall shows he did in fact live with his family at 77 Harley St and he appears to have died there in 1934.
