Charles McMoran Wilson was created 1st Baron Moran of Manton in 1943. During the 1914-18 War he was awarded the MC during the Battle of the Somme and the Italian Silver Medal for Military Valour for a raid. He was for twenty-four years Dean of St Martin's Hospital Medical School. In 1945 he published his observations of men under the stress of war in The Anatomy of Courage. He became Winston Churchill's doctor in 1940, as the curtain was rising on one of the greatest dramas in our history, and from 1941 to 1950 he was also President of the Royal College of Physicians. Winston Churchill: the Struggle for Survival was first published in 1966, a year after Churchill's death. In his war memoirs, Winston Churchill called Lord Moran `a devoted and personal friend' to whose `unfailing care I probably owe my life'.
