Biographies

OFFICER, DORIS LYNE (1898-1967), medical practitioner, was born on 28 June 1898 at Sidcup, Kent, England, daughter of Ernest Alfred Veale, master mariner, and his Australian-born wife Amy, née Glen-Wilson. Doris's parents had met in Sydney. Her maternal grandfather James Glen Wilson, an artist attached to H.M.S. Herald, had arrived in Australia in 1853. Doris was educated at Cheltenham Ladies' College, Gloucestershire. Perhaps inspired by a family friend Mrs Elizabeth Garrett Anderson (the first woman to qualify as a medical practitioner in England), she was encouraged in her choice of a profession by her cousin Dr Laura Veale and uncle Dr Ellacott Ward. In 1915 she entered the London School of Medicine for Women (M.B., B.S., 1921).
