A Hero in Waiting


A group of photographs showing the young Roden Cutler has just been donated to our collection. Among the photos is this one, taken in 1940 at what looks like Martin Place, Sydney, of Roden aged about 23, with his younger sister Doone.
Colleen McCullough, in her biography Roden Cutler VC, notes that the 2/5th Field Artillery Regiment sailed for Suez on the Queen Mary in October of 1940. The following year Lieutenant Cutler won his Victoria Cross.
