A Doctor at War

Dr 'Montie' Spencer's prodigious letter writing - with linked commentary - encompasses Gallipoli, life in New Zealand in the 1920s and 1930s, extended study trips overseas, his fight with the Plunket Society over its very rigid feeding methods for babies in the 1930s, his pioneering of milk and apples in schools, and his commanding of military hospitals in the Middle East prior to his World War Two death.
