JAMES ROBERT JUDD, Surgeon. Dr. James R. Judd, physician and surgeon of 
Honolulu and veteran surgeon of two wars, is one of the few men of Hawaii to 
be recognized by the Republic of France through the conferring of the 
decoration of the Legion of Honor.
  This notable distinction was bestowed upon him July 14, 1921, in 
appreciation of his conspicuous services to the French government during the 
World War. Dr. Judd and his wife went to France in 1915, and both joined the 
American Ambulance Service, composed of Americans, who, in their enthusiastic 
support of the allied cause, refused to wait for the decision of President 
Wilson to bring America into the war. Dr. Judd was made chief surgeon of 
Juilly Hospital from 1915 to 1917, serving first in Neuilly Hospital. Mrs. 
Judd worked at her husband’s side throughout the war, nursing in the hospitals 
to which he was assigned.
  After completing his medical course in the New York Post-Graduate Medical 
School in 1903, Dr. Judd returned to his native Honolulu and established a 
private practice. He is a frequent contributor of articles to surgical 
journals, a former member of the Board of Health, a former member of the 
Territorial Board of Medical Examiners, and an ex-trustee of the Honolulu 
School for Boys.
  During the Spanish-American war, Dr. Judd was a surgical assistant with the 
American Red Cross. He is a member of the Hawaiian Medical Society, American 
Medical Association and a Fellow in the American College of Surgeons. He also 
holds memberships in the Oahu Country and University Clubs and is an ardent 
student of French literature, being the possessor of a noteworthy French 
library.
  Dr. Judd was born in Honolulu, May 20, 1876, the son of Albert Francis and 
Agnes (Hall) Boyd Judd. He is a grandson of Dr. G. P. Judd, a prominent figure 
in the early history of Hawaii and his father was a noted jurist of Hawaii. 
Dr. Judd’s early education was received at Oahu College, and in 1897 he was 
graduated from Yale University with the degree of B.A., receiving his M.D. 
degree from Columbia University in 1901. His internship was served in the New 
York Hospital, New York City.
  In 1908 he married Louise Marshall of Chicago and they have two children, 
James Robert, Jr., and Alice Louise Judd.
