Agape Love has no hometown

Henry Dawson was born in Truro but spent his formative years going to school in Halifax and Montreal and in the muddy trenches of wartime Europe.

He worked in Kentucky and in New York City.

He gave up his own life to try and save hundreds of thousands of people - people totally unknown to him and from all over the world - who were dying needlessly of subacute bacterial endocarditis (SBE).

His actions ultimately has benefitted ten billion of us , so far, since 1940 - via a form of herd immunity generated when penicillin, thanks largely to Henry, became a inexpensive- public domain - lifesaver.

Whatever Henry did, Henry did himself - it was not done by the community of his birth, Truro.

Honour him there if you want - but honour him everywhere else too ...
