A man of substance in war and in peace, Dr Donald Beard, AM, is a
leader, and known for his compassion, humility and charm. The
Diggers' Doctor tells of his extraordinary life as a surgeon, as
well as his love of cricket and deep friendship with cricketers,
including Sir Donald Bradman. It was in the Beards' backyard that
The Don faced Jeff Thomson and hit his last cricket ball. Dr Donald
Beard has embraced those from all walks of life and considers
himself enriched by the experience. Surgery, cricket, music,
theatre, reading and his love for Margaret, the greatest love of
his life, has warmed him to thousands. It has indeed been a
fortunate life. 'Don Beard - "the Doc" - is a familiar and
much-loved figure at cricket grounds around Australia and the
world. In another part of his extraordinary life, as an army
doctor, he is equally revered. His role as a doctor tending to
soldiers in combat in Korea is a byword in the Australian Army. At
the Battle of Kapyong in 1951 his inspirational care and leadership
contributed to the love the soldiers had for this strong man of
peace and compassion. His invariable good humour, stamina and great
professional skill made him a wonderful role model for further
generations of medicos in uniform. I am delighted that one of
Australia's great cricketers is writing about the Doc, one of
nature's gentlemen.' - General Peter Cosgrove, AK, MC (Retd)
