Charles Blackburn

Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Charles Bickerton Blackburn KCMG, OBE (22 April 1874 – 20 July 1972) was an Australian university chancellor and physician. Blackburn was born in the town of Greenhithe, in the county of Kent, England.[1] Mainly known as a long-serving chancellor and board member of the University of Sydney (he served in the university as board member from 1942 to 1964), he was also a councillor of the Australian Medical Association and the Association of Physicians of Australasia.[1]

Blackburn served in World War I as a lieutenant-colonel for the Australian Army Medical Corps. He was awarded an OBE for his services towards the Medical Corps, and became the chair of the Commonwealth Royal Commission on the assessment of war service disabilities, in 1924. In World War II, Blackburn served in the 113 Australian General Hospital, in Concord.[1]

Blackburn graduated from the University of Sydney with a M.B and Ch.M. He began his medical career at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, Australia. He set up his own private practice in 1903, but he still remained connected with the hospital. Blackburn died in Bellevue Hill, at the age of 98.[1]
