Neville Howse | Myboeken

In an action of outstanding gallantry during the Boer War, Neville Howse rode out to an injured man, dressed his wound, and carried the man on his back to safety, under fire all the while. This book seeks to fill a gap in our public history and to place before readers something of Howse's life and times.

Neville Reginald Howse was the first soldier to be awarded the Victoria Cross while serving in an Australian unit. A doctor in the Boer War and World War I, he was famous for his willingness to risk his own life to save others. He was also a gifted administrator who oversaw the complete overhaul of Australia's medical services in the 1920s. Later that decade he was elected to federal Parliament where he eventually served in a number of key Cabinet posts. An influential legislator and fierce nationalist, he remains little known today. This biography is the first on this important figure in Australian history.
