Volunteer service in the Royal Australian Army Medical Corps has always been a strong tradition among Australian soldiers--a "worthy tradition" in the words of the Australian historian of military medicine, Colonel A.G. Butler. Outstanding even against this background has been the unique contribution of four doctor-soldiers, in three generations of the Marks family from Queensland. Serving in the Queensland Defence Force before Federation, the Australian Army Medical Corps, and the Royal Australian Army Medical Corps, this family group rendered a total of 115 years of service in the sphere of military medicine, in peace and war. This account documents some of the medical service in the Army of the Honourable Dr Charles Ferdinand Marks (senior); Dr (Colonel) Alexander Hammett Marks; Dr (Major) Edward Oswald Marks; and Dr (Colonel) Charles Ferdinand Marks (junior).
在澳大利亚皇家陆军医疗队从事志愿服务，一直是澳大利亚士兵中的一项悠久传统——用澳大利亚军事医学历史学家A.G.巴特勒上校的话说，这是一项“值得珍视的传统”。即便在这样的背景下，来自昆士兰的马克斯家族三代人中的四位军医所做出的独特贡献依然格外突出。这个家族群体曾先后在联邦成立前的昆士兰国防军、澳大利亚陆军医疗队以及澳大利亚皇家陆军医疗队服役，在军事医学领域，无论和平时期还是战争年代，总共服务了115年。本文记述了尊敬的查尔斯·费迪南德·马克斯医生（资深）、（上校）亚历山大·哈米特·马克斯医生、（少校）爱德华·奥斯瓦尔德·马克斯医生以及（上校）查尔斯·费迪南德·马克斯医生（晚辈）在陆军中的部分医疗服务经历。
