Produktbeschreibung

Although Australia is only a young country in comparison to other nations, it can hold its head up high and proudly proclaim that it is one of the giants in this world of toil and trouble in which we live. When the odds are stacked against Australians, they dont turn and run; instead, they stand and fight and overcome the obstacles that face them. The contents of this volume are a tribute to all the men and women of this proud and great country, who have come from all walks of life to give of their time, and unfortunately, some have even given their lives, to defend this great land and keep it free. There have been politicians, doctors, nurses, police officers, average everyday citizens, musicians, actors, artists, farmers, graziers, authors, sportsmen and women, journalists, and a host of others who have taken up the cause for their country and the monarchy, serving from the Crimean to the war in Vietnam and beyond. Their heroic deeds and their many sacrifices have ensured that todays generation can rest easier, proud in the knowledge that these servicemen and women have paved the way for our freedom. Now they come together once again as one big family to shed an insight on their achievements so that you can fully understand and appreciate what they have and had experienced. I dedicate this work to the memory of all those who have made the supreme sacrifice in order that we may live in peace and prosperity and also to the families of those who did not return. The book is not a glorification of war but a glorification of the individual and his or her actions and deeds.

Autorenporträt

I was born in a plane, some thirteen thousand feet above the ground, in early February 1948, and I was both raised and educated in the lower north shore of Sydney. After I left school at the end of the year 1963, I commenced my working life as an artist with SMH in Sydney. This was the first of several occupations, finishing up as a police officer in the role of parking patrol. Both my parents were in the army, and it was from my dad that I grained my artistic skills, culminating in being awarded third place in a national Press Artist's Comp, which was organized by the Journalist Association in the mid-60s. I have always enjoyed art, and in my later life years, I took up writing. At this point in time, I have completed four (4) novels and three (3) historical books on historic events, person/s, and places.
