Dr John Frederick Joseph Cade
Cade was born on January 18th 1912 in Murtoa, in the Wimmera region of Victoria, Australia.
John Cade’s father, David served as the physician for the town of Murtoa, but on returning from his service in WWI, he sold his practice and assumed a position in the Mental Hygiene Department. Over the following years David Cade was assigned the role of medical superintendent at a number of Victorian mental hospitals, including Sunbury, Mont Park and Beechworth. John Cade’s interest and profound insight into mental illness likely stemmed from he time spent around institutions as a child, given his father’s occupation and further enhanced by his experiences, as a prisoner of war, later in life.
