Historical information

Photo of Sir Edward 'Weary' Dunlop meeting widows he was a guest speaker for the Heidelberg Widows Club when they were celebrating their 10th Anniversary in May. This photo featured in the July edition of The Answer with the unfortunate footnote that Sir Edward had passed away on the 2nd July.
"Our picture shows the gentlemanly Sir Edward charming the ladies. All were sad to learn of Sir Edward's death on 2nd July 1993."
Another article in the September edition of The Answer was a touching tribute to Sir Edward by a legacy widow Dorothy Madigan:
Sir Edward was so strong and tall, in body and in mind
Yet gentle, too, he saw sick through their dying days in Thailand.
This was the doctor's greatest challenge when all seemed hopeless and lost
To improvise a theatre, and operate; for himself, at such a cost.
Threatened with execution his face slapped many a time
In spite of leg covered with ulcers he carried on, he carried on.
And many an ex POW, will shed a tear today.
For the love and care bestowed on him
By Australia's most loveable son.
