Weary Dunlop was an Australian surgeon best known for his heroic and compassionate treatment of Prisoners of War, of which he himself was one. Many times he stood up for the men who were expected to work in atrocious conditions, particularly on the Thai - Burma Railway, whilst they were very ill and weak. He more than once stepped between the Japanese bayonets and one of his own men.
He also followed the war's progress with a hidden wireless radio . He was extremely skilled in caring for the men despite an almost total lack of medical equipment or supplies and whilst suffering himself. Weary Dunlop became legendary for both his medical skills, encouraging attitude, and his untiring campaign to preserve what he could of human dignity for the prisoners. This campaign continued after the war, as he sought to better the lives of those who had suffered so much.
