You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Gordon Stifler Seagrave''' (18 March 1897 &ndash; 28 March 1965) was a Burmese-born American missionary, physician and author.

==Life and career==
Born in [[Yangon|Rangoon]], he was the son of American Baptist missionaries Rev. Albert Ernest Seagrave and Alice Vinton.<ref name=L>[https://friendsofburma.org/static/docs/The_Last_American_Baptist_Missionaries_to_Burma_1946-1966.pdf Friends of Burma website, ''The Last American Baptist Missionaries to Burma, 1946-1966'', by Neil Sowards and May Pearl Cartee] published by The American Baptist Historical Society (2013)</ref> As such he represented the fourth generation of a mission tradition begun when his great-grandparents [[Justus Vinton]], [[Calista Vinton|Calista Holman]], [[James Madison Haswell]] and Jane Mason, were sent to [[Mawlamyine|Moulmain, Burma]] in 1834 and 1835 to establish a Baptist mission, work continued in subsequent generations by several family members, including his great-aunt, missionary and physician [[Calista V. Luther|Calista Vinton Luther]]. Seagrove's sisters followed in the family footsteps, with Rachel working as a teaching missionary in [[Bago, Myanmar|Pegu]] and Grace becoming a medical missionary in [[Moulmein]].<ref name=L/> Seagrave also followed their path and became a missionary and medical doctor in Burma. He was sometimes referred to by the title of his book, "[[Burma Surgeon]]", or as Gordon Surgeon Seagrave. His first language as a boy was [[Karen languages|Karen]].

Seagrave was married on 11 September 1920 to Marion Grace "Tiny" Morse. They had four children: Leslie Mae, b. 1921 in Baltimore, MD; Weston M.; John H.; and [[Sterling Seagrave|Sterling V.]], a journalist and author.

Seagrave graduated from [[Denison University]] in 1917 and [[Johns Hopkins University]] in 1921. He practiced medicine and surgery on the China border of Burma for nearly 20 years. He joined the US Army Medical Corps in 1942, worked with Gen. [[Joseph Stilwell]] and served with the Chinese [[New 6th Army]] through the [[Burma Campaign]] in the [[China-Burma-India Theater]]. He helped Stilwell's walking retreat into [[India]] in 1942.<ref>[http://www.worldwar2history.info/Burma/Road.html The Burma Road.] World War II History Info. Retrieved February 1, 2015.</ref> He walked back in to work in 1945. He served as chief medical officer for the [[Shan State]]s of Burma with the British military government from 1945-46.<ref name=L/>

He was arrested and charged with treason by the newly independent Burmese government in 1950.<ref name=Time1950>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110131103134/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,821364,00.html Hot potato]. ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]''. November 13, 1950. Retrieved February 1, 1950.</ref> He chose to stand trial rather than be perceived as fleeing. He was sentenced in January 1951 to six years at hard labor, on charges that he wrote a letter that helped [[Karen people|Karen]] rebels arrest a government commissioner, and that he gave medical help to the Karen rebels. The sentence was later reduced to six months, and in November 1951 the verdict was overturned by Burma's three-man Supreme Court and he was declared not guilty. He suffered dysentery and malaria in part from his time in jail.<ref name=Time1951>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101123152630/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,821447,00.html Sea of troubles].

Seagrave wrote six books: ''Waste Basket Surgery'', 1930; ''Tales of a Waste Basket Surgeon'', 1939/1942; ''Burma Surgeon'', 1943; ''Adventure in Burma told in pictures'', 1944; ''Burma Surgeon Returns'', 1946; and ''My Hospital in the Hills'', 1955; and he co-authored ''The life of a Burma Surgeon'' with Chester Bowles, 1961.

Gordon Seagrave died at his hospital at [[Namhkam (Shan State)|Namhkam, Burma]] on 28 March 1965.<ref>"Dr. Seagrave Dies of a Heart Illness", ''Dallas Morning News'', 29 March 1965</ref>
