A London doctorās World
War Oneās heroics has been recognised with the unveiling of a new blue heritage
plaque, on the 100-year anniversary of the start of the war.
Ā
John Alcindor, known as the āBlack Doctor of
Paddingtonā, served as a volunteer in the British Red Cross in World War One ā
despite first being rejected from the Royal Army Medical Corps in 1914 because
of his ācolonial origin.ā Not dismayed by the first rejection, Alcindor served
Britain by helping wounded soldiers at London rail stations as the returned
from the battlefields.
Ā
Following the war his work was honoured with a Red
Cross Medal, but now his stubbornness to serve was celebrated yesterday with a
public plaque. Alcindor not only served his country in war, but he served his
community as a doctor in the early 20th century, even becoming a senior
district medical officer for Paddington in 1921, before his death in 1924.
Ā
As part of the international centenary to
commemorate World War One, the Nubian Jak Community Trust, with support from
the Edward Harvist Trust and Westminster City Council, has this week unveiled a
blue heritage commemorative plaque at the former site of Dr John Alcindorās
surgery in Paddington, Westminster.
Ā
Speaking at the ceremony was the Lord Mayor of
Westminster, Cllr Audrey Lewis, who said who said Dr John Alcindor was a
remarkable man who is remembered for his devotion to his patients, whatever
their origin or race.Ā
Ā
Jeff Green, a local historian, also spoke at the
ceremony and said:Ā “For over twenty years Dr Alcindor aided thousands
of people in Paddington. He was also a respected cricketer, Catholic, and
president of the African Progress Union. His death at the age of 50 was a great
loss to the sick and to the Caribbean and African community.”
Ā
Mrs Reshma Bissoon-Deokie, Acting High Commission
for Trinidad and Tobago expresses similar sentiment. She said Dr. John
Alcindorās achievements in the medical and military fields, as well as his
ardour for service and racial equality, serve as a testament to the impact one
can have on society regardless of origin.
Ā
āThe Trinidad and Tobago High Commission salutes
the life and legacy of Dr. Alcindor and is pleased to see one of the brilliant
sons of Trinidad and Tobago being honoured for his indelible contribution. We
hope his story can serve to inspire future generationsā.
Ā
Ā
Bar Holmes, Granddaughter of John Alcindor, said:Ā āAlthough
our grandfather never knew his grandchildren/great grandchildren because he
died in 1924, we are immensely proud of his passion for both helping those who
could not afford to pay for GP services in those days, and for his fight to
promote racial equality at that time. We very much appreciate that his efforts have
been recognised with this Plaque.”
