title: Henry Naunton Davies (1827-1899): a devoted family doctor and a brave rescuer.
abstract: Henry Naunton Davies lived and practised in the Rhondda valley, in Wales. In 1877 a local coalmine became suddenly flooded, and 14 men were trapped. Davies made a valuable contribution to the rescue effort, and was subsequently awarded the British Medical Association's Gold Medal for Distinguished Merit (he was the first recipient of that honour).
