Tribute to Mr Peter Jones
Mr Peter Jones (1922–1995) MB, MS, FRCS, FRACS, FACS, FAAP. The fi rst Australian surgeon to obtain the FRACS in
paediatric surgery, and member of RACS Council (1987–1995), Vice-President of the Medical Defence Association of
Victoria (1974–1988) and President of the Australian Association of Surgeons (1983–1986). He was legendary as a med-
ical historian and in heraldry, as a great raconteur, but primarily as a great student teacher.
