MEMORIAL TO DOCTOR
MOXTGOMEUY SPENCEH FUND P.A. WELLINGTON, this day. The Dominion committee of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians has decided to establish a fund to be known as the Montgomery Spencer Memorial Fund as a memorial to a former well-known children's specialist in Wellington, who died on active service in Tripoli in 1943.
Because of the long association of Colonel Frederick Montgomery Spencer with the care of children, the committee felt that the memorial should take a form that would further the objects he had so much at heart. It has therefore been suggested that the fund should be known as the Montgomery Spencer Memorial Lecture Fund.
The committee in charge of the appeal includes Major-General F. T. Eowerbank, Drs. T. M. Allen (convenor), J. R. Boyd, N. R. Mackay, and C. A. Taylor.
Colonel Montgomery Spencer, who was known throughout Australia and New Zealand as a children's specialist, served both in the 1914-18 war and the last war. His death, clue to typhus, occurred in Tripoli in June, 1943.
