Glimpses into the past: memoir of an Irish Anglican

Roddy Evans was born in County Meath, Ireland, in 1923. He graduated in medicine from Trinity College, Dublin and Adelaide Hospital, in 1947, and became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in 1951. He practised medicine in Dublin and London, and later in Asia and South America. He also travelled widely in the Middle East and Southern Africa with Moral Re-Armament. In 1971, he returned to live in Belfast, where he experienced first-hand the unfolding of the historic developments in Northern Ireland over the last thirty years. His memoir includes details of quiet efforts towards helping to end 'the troubles'.
