Hint: This site is intended as a search aid - not a definitive source. It is essentially an index to documents that seem to relate to this person plus a very brief precis of relevant elements. Sources often conflict and I also flag things with a ? when I am unsure. So if the information below is important to you, then please check the original sources to see what else they contain (and in case I have inadvertantly introduced transcription and/or precising errors). There can be additional information that was not included in the database for both space and copyright reasons.

Extracts and Comments
(from Sources as shown)

Murray: Vic. Details Commonwealth Contingent, Hon. Captain Queen's South Africa Medal.
B5207: surgeon aged 26 from S. Yarra Vic.
URL1: CADES, sailed from Port Natal for Aust. aboard the 'Britannic' 6.7.1902.
URL2: Dr. David CADE, Melbourne psychiatrist, died at home in N. Balwyn Vic. 27.7.1954 aged 79, Superintendent of various mental hospitals, Colonel in AAMC and RMO in Boer War, awarded DSO in WW1 as OC 3Fd. Ambulance in France.
URL4: WW1 AIF Lt. Colonel David Duncan CADE DSO AAMC 3Fd. Ambulance.
URL5: Dr TILLBRICH, it will be remembered, succeeded Dr CADE [at Ballarat Hospital], who went with one of the contingents to South Africa, and who is expected to return shortly [c8.1902].
URL6: The officers of the [Field Hospital and Bearer Company] corps are - Major TA GREEN DSO, Major RN HOWSE VC, Captain FD JERMYN, Lieutenant WA JAMES, Lieutenant AJ NYULASY, Lieutenant HA FORMBY, Lieutenant DD CADE.
URL7: The Ballarat Hospital is about to lose the valued services of the junior medical officer, Dr CADE, who has been offered and accepted an appointment with the Commonwealth Field Hospital, which will leave Sydney on the 12th inst. [2.1902] for South Africa. Dr CADE asks that he be relieved of his position in the course, of two or three days, and mentions that he has arranged for a locum tenens to act for him during the remainder of his term of office. Having regard to the fact that the committee of the institution will not meet for a fortnight, and that Dr CADE’s departure is urgent, it is probable that the matter will be dealt with by the president (Mr Geo. KING). During his sojourn of about two years at the institution Dr CADE has been untiring in his labors, and his departure will occasion great regret amongst the staff and the nurses. The patients who have experienced his kindly attentions will also very much miss him.

Apology: For some time now it has been difficult to keep up with the newly available sources (especially the Trove newspaper site) plus the flow of contributions and queries. So I have been forced to prioritise maintenance and data entry over replying to correspondence. Nevertheless, your contributions are being added to the database and acknowledged on the contributions page and, although my replies are many months behind, I will attempt to get to them more often.
