Notes
G. A. Lendon graduated with degrees in science and medicine from Adelaide University. He later did post-graduate studies in Oxford, England and at Radcliffe Infirmary. At Radcliffe he studied anaesthesia. As a result of his studies, he was able to graphically demonstrate the use of ethyl chloride at a meeting of the British Medical association.
After his return to Adelaide, he was appointed Honorary Physician to the Adelaide Hospital and made his name there as a physician, clinician, teacher and medical politician at the Hospital.
He was a popular post-graduate teacher and devoted much time and energy to instruction for the would-be physicians who left the armed forces at the end of World War II.
