Abstract
Volunteer service in the Royal Australian Army Medical Corps has always been a strong tradition among Australian soldiers--a "worthy tradition" in the words of the Australian historian of military medicine, Colonel A.G. Butler. Outstanding even against this background has been the unique contribution of four doctor-soldiers, in three generations of the Marks family from Queensland. Serving in the Queensland Defence Force before Federation, the Australian Army Medical Corps, and the Royal Australian Army Medical Corps, this family group rendered a total of 115 years of service in the sphere of military medicine, in peace and war. This account documents some of the medical service in the Army of the Honourable Dr Charles Ferdinand Marks (senior); Dr (Colonel) Alexander Hammett Marks; Dr (Major) Edward Oswald Marks; and Dr (Colonel) Charles Ferdinand Marks (junior).
