Walter Holland was an exceptional leader in epidemiology. He died in the hospital where, in 1954, he had earned his medical degree, and where he had worked for much of his productive and influential life. Arriving in England from German-speaking Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia in the wake of Kristallnacht, he excelled at Rugby School and then as a medical student at St Thomas’ Hospital. During his long association with St Thomas’, he contributed to mainstream epidemiology in the areas of smoking and respiratory disorders, screening, applied epidemiology in multidisciplinary health services research, and in conjoint general practice research and education.
