Enlisting in the Australian Military in1942, ODonnell served with Australian Forces in New Guinea undertaking perilous long-range reconnaissance patrols in the Central Highlands and the Aitape-Wewak area. He was awarded the Military Cross for initiative and courage. ... In 1964 O'Donnell entered Time Expired, - based on his Papua-New Guinea experience-, in the Adelaide Advertiser literary competition in 1964; it won second prize. His company, Leksand Press, published the book in 1967. He was elected to the committee of management of the Australian Society of Authors in 1966 and served as chairman in 1969-75. Turning the writers property of copyright into an income became his obsession. In 1968 he founded the Australian Copyright Council to give legal advice to authors, agents and publishers. In 1989 CAL paid $1.1 million to authors and publishers and made an award recognising the unique service to Australian copyright of ODonnell. The ACC established the G. C. ODonnell biennial essay prize later that year. Twenty years later CAL had paid authors and publishers $600 million.
