Born in 1888, Victor Hurley rose through the ranks of the medical profession while simultaneously serving his country in times of conflict, ultimately earning a knighthood that recognised his extraordinary contributions to Australian society across multiple fields of endeavour.\n\nWritten by John Victor Hurley, this intimate biographical account draws on privileged access to personal records and family knowledge to present a richly detailed portrait of a man who embodied the ideals of duty, expertise, and public service. The narrative illuminates the broader historical landscape of Australia across seven transformative decades — encompassing two World Wars, sweeping advances in modern medicine, and the evolution of national institutions — leaving the reader to wonder just how profoundly one life can shape the world around it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130871226587,"sku":"2026200011862-SECONDHAND","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ccc2e227-c3c2-448f-a807-892c9138650e.png?v=1786591694","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011862-secondhand-sir-victor-hurley-surgeon-soldier-and-administrator-1888-1958-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
