Colonel Rose was a war hero in WW1 and WW2, but achieved his greatest fame in the Northern Territory in the 1950s when he was chief veterinary officer. He found a cure for the bitter pleuro-pneumonia disease and founded the live cattle trade of Australia with Asia.
Colonel Rose's step-son Dr Peter Hooper, who was himself once Chief Veterinary Officer of the NT, flew in from his cattle station in Victoria to launch the book.
Former cattle station managers of famous NT stations such as Elsie, Brunette Downs and Victoria River Downs, also flew in for the book launch from their places of retirement in Victoria, Canberra, NSW and Queensland.
Colonel Rose was married three times, so there were also present large numbers of off-spring of the Rose family.
