James Fitzgerald Brodie was born on 6 February 1854 at Limerick. He was appointed Surgeon on 5 August 1877, and was one of fifteen surgeons with 156 Brigade during the Second Afghan War of 1878-80. In 1890 he was appointed in Command of the Station Hospital, Madras, and was later promoted Lieutenant-Colonel on 5 August 1897. His premature death at Maidstone in February 1902 led to financial hardship for his family - an appeal for financial assistance in the British Medical Journal on behalf of his widow and children had raised £73. 8s by 18 October 1902; sold with copied research.
