- Summary:
-
"Born with an unquenchable curiosity and a 'willingness to work', six-year-old 'Pommy Blood' survived the schoolyard taunts of post-WW1 Australia to become a SCHOLAR. Browse this collection of writings to follow Doug's journey through schooling, university and the Australian Army of WW2, into academia. He became part of a world-wide fellowship of veterinarians working to bring veterinary science into the modern age. In retirement, with hearing and vision failing, Doug's drive to work kept him writing. At his family's request he wrote these reminiscences and, combined with many photographs, they chart the evolution of veterinary science and of technology over the 93 years of Doug's life."--Back cover.
