Jonah O Boland, born in 1884 to a Irish family in Birmingham, grew up rather poor.

He joined the Army in 1903, rising his way to Lieutenant by 1915.

He had a interest in the medical field, and showed his expertise with anatomy and medicinal practices.. At 16, he started thoroughly learning and diving into what he would do years later.

Much cannot be said about Jonah, as he mostly keeps to himself.
