Frank Mathias
Surgeon Rear Admiral (Dentist) Frank Mathias, who has died aged 92, came from a Welsh village to become the Director of Naval Dental Services.
After two years at Sussex County Hospital, Brighton (1952–53), Mathias was called up for National Service, but soon decided to make the Navy his full career, since there was a variety of challenging appointments available that a civilian dentist would never experience.
