Community honour for war-hero doctor
6th January 2005
"... Dr David Rowlands, aged 85, has been given the North Cotswold Rotary Club's annual community service award in recognition of nearly 50 years caring for local people.
Before moving to the Cotswolds in 1955, the 85-year-old had also received a Croix de Guerre for his bravery while serving with the Free French Medical Service during the war.
As a GP, Dr Rowlands fought the threatened closure of Bourton's Moore Cottage Hospital and founded the village handicapped centre, now known as the Naight Club.
Presenting the award, Rotary president Alan Andrews said: "There can be no doubt that David Rowlands has made a huge contribution to the lives of people in the Bourton area and well deserves this award."..."

David ? " The life had much to be said for it. In the evenings the Unit became a centre for anyone who wanted to drop in---large squads of English soldiers, American ambulance drivers, and assorted Frenchmen. They lived in improvised comfort, which reached its acme in two large burrowed underground apartments; one, built by David Smewing and David Rowlands and called "The Davids ", rivalled its Northfield counterpart, while "Throckley Hall", the home of Neville Coates and Tony Armstrong, brought nostalgic memories of Tyneside. ...
ONE MORNING IN LATE AUGUST the camp awoke to discover that the Colonel, two of the sisters, three of the French and David Rowlands had disappeared. They had left in the night to take part, so it was later learnt, in a "Surgical Commando" with a landing party which was to land in France on D minus 1 Day. There was some pique in the Hospital that people had not been told about it.
...At the dressing station which David Rowlands and his companion had improvised in a small railway building nearby casualties began to arrive. But no sooner had they begun than a stick of Allied bombs dropped along the line, the last hitting a corner of the station. Staff and patients were buried in debris. A hurried removal, the finding of the Colonel and the rest of the équipe, long hours of operating in a nearby house, then on to Marseilles whence they drove and operated their way across the Rhone and up to Lyons, which they entered while fighting was still in progress in the streets. And there the main party found them."
