Thomas (his grandfather) qualified from Oxford and was a founder member of the Metropolitan Counties branch of the British Medical Association. During the 1870–1871 Franco Prussian war he was living with his wife in St Germains near Paris. Their son Allan (Ronald’s father) rushed to France as soon as an armistice was declared to the aid of his family and was said to have had quite an adventurous journey. His adventures however were nothing compared to those that his son, Ronald Ogier Ward was to experience in his life.
