Senior Year Book Medical Facility 1922 including photographs and personal details of the fifth year students:
‘…From the Sydney Grammar School. He enlisted in the AMC in February 1918 and was later transferred to the University Company. ‘Mat’ and his motorbike joined our year in 191: we have since lost the motor-bike. His life’s work is to reduce his handicap at golf, but is quite willing to undertake any little surgical jobs in his spare time. For he maintains (with a grin) that physicians are a necessary evil.’
