More about Alexander Howard Pirie

service record

The death occurred on November 23, 1944, of Dr. Alexander Howard Pirie, one of the pioneer radiologists of Canadian medicine. The close of this colourful career came after a short illness towards the end of his sixty-ninth year and occurred in the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal, which had been the scene of almost all of his professional activities since coming to Canada in 1911.
