Abstract

Thomas Pomfret Kilner was born on 17 September 1890, the son of a schoolmaster at Manchester Grammar School. He was educated at Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School in Blackburn, a busy cotton-weaving centre, which lies about twenty miles to the north-east of Manchester. Besides its cotton trade and manufacturing industries, Manchester is well known for its university, and it was there that Kilner studied medicine, winning the Dauntesey Scholarship and the Sidney Renshaw Exhibition, as well as medals in anatomy and physiology on his way to qualifying in 1912, with distinctions in surgery and pathology.
