sir charles pardey lukis kcsi -lrb- 1857 -- 22 october 1917 -rrb- was the inaugural editor of the `` indian journal of medical research '' and served as the director-general of the indian medical service -lrb- 1910 -- 1917 -rrb- .
pardey was also a strong supporter of the establishment of the calcutta school of tropical medicine , though he did not live to see it open in 1921 .
he received his medical training at st. bartholomew 's hospital , becoming a fellow of the royal college of surgeons in 1890 .
the same year , he entered the bengal army and served and worked in india for the remainder of his career , though he was awarded his md from the university of london in 1904 .
he was appointed as a professor of medicine in calcutta in 1905 and became honorary surgeon to the viceroy of india the same year .
he was made a commander of the order of the star of india in 1910 , was knighted in 1911 , and became honorary surgeon to the king in 1913 .
his appointment as director-general of the indian medical service was at the rank of surgeon-general , and he was promoted to lieutenant general in 1916 .
theodore lukis , his son , was expected to follow in his father 's footsteps and qualified as a medical doctor but was killed during the first world war .
lukis was extremely bitter about his loss , writing that `` his has been a wasted life and i can find no justification , for a medical man , who gives up his profession of healing , in order to endeavour to kill his fellow creatures , even though they be enemies '' .
a book co-written by lukis , `` tropical hygiene for residents in tropical and sub-tropical climates , '' was re-issued in 2010 .
lukis also wrote a handbook on midwifery .
