Abstract
Few people have been as successful in bringing together basic research, clinical science, and a contribution to military medicine as Professor Hugh MacLean. However, today he is almost forgotten. During World War 1, practicing within the realms of the new field of renal medicine, with minimal resources and in a military hospital, he conducted one of the first large-scale Medical Research Committee investigations into war nephritis involving 60,000 subjects. After the war he set up and practiced, amongst other specialties, in the field of veteran medicine and established the concept of the one-stop renal clinic. After achieving significant academic recognition, he was unfortunately affected by mental health problems, possibly related to his wartime experiences, which brought an illustrious career to an untimely end.
