Arthur Gordon Whitlam exonerated after 28-year battle for justice

Arthur Gordon Whitlam, wrongly court-martialed in 1916, was exonerated on July 19, 1944, after a 28-year battle to clear his name. The governor-general of Australia, Lord Gowrie, quashed his conviction, stating that the original court proceedings were a travesty of justice. Whitlam’s case has drawn comparisons to the infamous Dreyfus affair in France.
