Lennard Gilmore Travers (1905-1968) MBE, MBBS (Melb.), FRCS (Edin.), FFARACS, FFARCS was a much-respected anaesthetist in Melbourne: a prestigious award is administered by the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthesia in his honour. Primary source material, including the candid wartime letters he wrote to his wife from the Middle East and from Morotai, have been used to portray a competent and considerate man. The book starts with some family background - his grandfather came from London to Central Queensland in the mid-nineteenth century - and includes a chapter on his wife Joan (nee Bostock). It finishes with vignettes of two people important to the story, Mary Bostock and Lorna Greene. The book has more than 80 illustrations, many in colour."--Back cover.
