Summary
Portrait of Dr John Hodgson Nattrass taken when he was about 70 years old, about 1940.
Dr John Hodgson Nattrass (1870-1943) was born near Ballarat, and graduated with a medical degree from the University of Melbourne in 1898. During his university years, he entered the University Officers' Corps of Instruction, and later joined the Army Medical Corps. He worked as a Resident Medical Officer at the Melbourne Hospital, the Children's Hospital and the Women's Hospital. Although too old to serve overseas in World War I, he became Senior Medical Officer at Broadmeadows Camp, Acting Officer Commanding No.5 Australian General Hospital, Principal Medical Officer, Camp Headquarters' Staff; and Assistant Principal Medical Officer, Third Military District (Victoria). His 'specially meritorious service to Australia' earned him a Mention in Orders.
