Personal Stories
THE ANZAC TRADITION AND KOREA A SAILOR EX HMAS ANZAC
One incident is worthy of mention. We did not have a doctor on board, our medical officer had been previously landed in Hong Kong. One of the Koreans had been gut shot and was in a pretty bad way. Leading Sickbay Attendant, ARTHUR ROWE, operated on this soldier, removed the bullet and stitched him up. I understand that the soldier made a full recovery. Unfortunately, Arthur Rowe received no recognition for this outstanding performance of his duty. Sometimes it happens this way.
