Abstract
Extract:
Sir Owen Dixon was born on 28 April 1886 in Melbourne, Australia. His father, Joseph William Dixon, was a barrister, who ceased practising at the Bar after losing his hearing as a result of a train crash. The only son was strongly influenced by his father and they often discussed legal matters as the younger man’s career developed.
