AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Dr Arthur Graham Butler (1872-1949), doctor-soldier and Commonwealth war historian, is an esteemed figure given his contribution during the ANZAC campaign at Gallipoli, his service to veterans between the wars, and in his role as the official military medical historian of World War I. He was the first doctor ashore at Anzac Cove in the dawn of 25 April 1915 and the only doctor decorated with the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) for service during the entire Gallipoli campaign. His portrait by Sir John Longstaff (1861-1941) hangs in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra of which Colonel Butler was a founder.'  (Publication abstract)
