Distinguished Provenance - Robert K. Likeman OAM Of particular interest is the handwritten ownership inscription of Robert K. Likeman, Brasenose College, Oxford, dated 1961. Robert Likeman studied Classics, Oriental Languages and Medicine at Brasenose College, Oxford, before continuing his medical education at Middlesex Hospital, London. After emigrating to Australia in 1972, he developed a distinguished career in medicine, military service and historical scholarship. Specialising in obstetrics and gynaecology, rural and remote medicine and tropical medicine, he served as Medical Superintendent of the Kirwan Hospital for Women in Townsville, Queensland, from 1986 to 1996. He also completed 24 years of service in the Australian Army, undertaking three overseas operational deployments, including service during the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Rwanda in 1995. He subsequently became Director of Army Health in Canberra, holding the rank of Colonel, and was awarded the Conspicuous Service Medal in 2001. An accomplished medical and military historian, Likeman is the author of numerous books, including Men of the Ninth (2003), Gallipoli Doctors (2010), From the Tropics to the Desert (2012) and The Thousand Doors (2019). In 2019, he was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for service to medicine. The ownership inscription provides an evocative connection between Likeman's early classical education at Oxford and his subsequent distinguished career in medicine, military service and historical writing.
