Dr. Blandford attained the rank of colonel A.MS,(T.) in the last war, and was awarded the C.B.E. and Territorial Decoration in 1919 for his services with the 50th Division. After the war he became Deputy Commissioner for Medical Services under the Ministry of Pensions, and later Principal Medical Officer-for the Midlands Region. He had been M.O.H. for Stockton-on-Tees Rural District and honorary surgeon to the Stockton and Thornaby Hospital. He joined the B.M.A. in 1900 and represented his Division at three Annual Meetings.
