Arthur Graham Butler was a physician and medical historian. In 1912 he joined the Australian Medical Army Medical Corps, becoming a medical officer at the Moreton Regiment. Butler was one of the first boats to arrive at Gallipoli and is credited by other soldiers for his energy and bravery. After leaving the Army in 1920, Butler resumed private practice. In 1923, against his wishes, but with a sense of public duty, Butler began writing the official history of the Australian Army Medical Services in the war with the complete three volumes taking twenty years to complete. Butler was responsible for all of the writing, aside from two sections of the first volume which were written by R. M. Downes, F.A. Maguire and R. W. Cilento. The work itself reflects his courage and meticulousness in the war, with the work highlighting a number of extremely important problems as a guide to policy and management in the future, with every claim properly source and quantified. The works are considered among some of the most important war history texts of Western culture and are wide-ranging, highly critical and extremely valuable to medical and military history.
