Donald Valsler Marshall was born in Netheravon, Wiltshire, on 21 August 1900  . His father, Edwin Marshall, was an officer for Customs and Excise. Donald studied medicine at the University of Glasgow from 1917-1922  and graduated with an MB ChB in November 1922  . After completing his terms as House Physician and House Surgeon at Stanley Hospital, Liverpool, he was appointed Senior Assistant Medical Officer at London Road Hospital, Newcastle-under-Lyme. He was then appointed Deputy Medical Superintendant of Newcastle General Hospital, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, circa 1927, and Senior Medical Officer at Kingston Hospital, Hull, in 1929.
