Benjamin Trowbridge (born July 17, 1868) was a surgeon and professor. Born in Newport, Rhode Island, he followed a very similar educational path as his elder brother William. He attended Rogers High School, graduated from Harvard with an A.B. in 1890, and earned his M.D. in Freiburg in 1893.
Afterward, he moved to New York City, where he would practice surgery and teach at Fordham University as a Professor of Clinical Surgery. He was recruited by the Medical Corps of the United States Army on December 20, 1917, for World War I and was sent to various hospitals in France, including Dr. Blake's Hospital in Paris (see image). He was discharged on February 15, 1919, and returned to his work in New York.
He married Anna Billings Griggs of Tacoma, Washington, on September 14, 1905, and had three children: Harty Griggs (b. 1906), Susan Dimock (b. 1907) and Maud Trowbridge (b. 1910).
