John Frank Herbert Stallman served in with the Royal Army Medical Corps from 28 November 1916 and noted addresses of Kinfauns Road, Tulse Hill Park SW2 and Thurlow Park Road, Dulwich SE4 when applying for his Medals. He practised from 125 Harley Street by 1925. The Royal College of Surgeons of England offer the following information:

'Stallman was born in Maida Vale, London, on 14 November 1889. He was the first child of John Henry Zacharia Stallman who was an importer and exporter of crude drugs and spices. He attended Dulwich College and then Guy's Hospital Medical School where he won the Michael Harris Prize for anatomy in 1912. He held a resident appointment at Guy's from 1914-15.

During the Great War he served as a Captain in the R.A.M.C. in Mesopotamia from 1916-18 when he was invalided out. He then became surgical registrar to the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital, and the Temperance Hospital, 1922-25. From there he took up a post as assistant surgeon to the Gloucester Royal Infirmary and, in 1932, was made full surgeon to the department of orthopaedics. He retired, due to age limits, in 1957 but stayed on for two more years to build up additional orthopaedic clinics in Cheltenham. He was orthopaedic surgeon to Gloucestershire County Council School Clinics and Standish House Hospital under the TB authority.

Gardening was his main hobby. He was President of the Gloucester branch of the BMA and of his local branch of the Catenian Association of Catholic Professional and Business men. He married Mary Galavan SRN in 1916 and they had a daughter, followed by a daughter and son twins, the latter died aged four. He died on 4 February 1978 aged 89 years.'
