Arthur George McNalty

Arthur McNalty married in 1905 Margaret Maude de Windt, eldest daughter of Harry de Windt, but they divorced in 1921. There were two children of the marriage:^[4]

• Frances Joy St. George McNalty (b. 1907)
• Peter Geoffrey Bourchier McNalty (b. 1909).

Arthur McNalty's father, British Army brigade surgeon Lt. Col. George William McNalty, MD, LRCSI, FRCSI, CB (1837–1912) invented (1873) the "iron wire folding fracture box" or splint, which was intended for use on the battlefield and in mass casualty situations and which foreshadowed the German surgeon Friedrich Cramer's (1847–1903) later invention of the Cramer wire ladder splint or the malleable wire ladder splint, which was developed for the same purposes and which is still used widely to this day individually or in multiple for emergency splint of fractured limbs. The Lieutenant Colonel served with the British Ambulance Service during the Franco-Prussian War and also served in the Ashanti War (1873–74), the Russo-Turkish War, the Second Anglo-Afghan War, and the Anglo-Egyptian War. He was the Honorary Surgeon to the Viceroy of India. He retired from the British Army in 1892.^[5][6][7][8]

George William McNalty's daughter and Arthur George McNalty's sister, Elizabeth Ann McNulty, was the wife of the Irish surgeon Andrew Sexton Gray, who is known as the "founder of ophthalmology in Australia". An infant sister Georgina Lucy McNalty died on 15 September 1875.^[9]

• List of British generals and brigadiers
• British Army officer rank insignia "Brigadier Generals wore a crossed sword and baton symbol on its own. In 1922 the rank was replaced with Colonel-Commandant, a title that reflected the role more accurately, but which many considered to be inappropriate in a British context. From 1928 the latter was replaced with the rank of Brigadier with the rank insignia used to this day.”
