Comments: One man’s description of the care of the sick and wounded under the constraints of prisoner of war conditions. Burnett Clarke was a cancer therapist and a radiologist by profession but tended the men in his care without free access to x-ray equipment.
Clarke was a pioneer radiologist and cancer therapist. His life extended to the world of disease of the skin. He became a leader in some organisational aspects of the profession of medicine. Greatly respected by his peers – he was elected to the rare honour of Fellow of the Australian Medical Association in 1972 – he holds an esteemed place in the history of Australian medicine.
