Lawrence Herschel Levi Harris (1871-1920), radiologist, became interested in X-rays in the second half of 1896 and founded an X-ray unit at Sydney Hospital. In England in 1914 for the annual meeting of the British Medical Association, Harris volunteered soon after the outbreak of World War I. As a captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps he joined the Australian Voluntary Hospital under Lieutenant-Colonel William Eames, as radiologist. Promoted major in May 1915, he was transferred to the 3rd Australian General Hospital at Lemnos.
