A son, brother, husband, father, soldier and friend. Despite never knowing the identity of his biological father and travelling alone to Australia to find a mother he barely remembered, Ted would come to form an unbreakable bond with the land and the people that would shape him into a quintessential hero: a man who was truly Australian made.</p><p>Henry Edward (Ted) Clifton was born in 1907 in Kensington, London. He was left with his great aunt when his mother fled the family home. She sent for him 18 months later and he travelled alone, aged 5, to Australia.</p><p>Although born in England, Teds life in Australia from schooldays in Geraldton, Western Australia, to city life in Melbourne and Sydney made him truly Australian.</p><p>Ted used his wartime diaries to form the basis of his story, which he wrote after he retired. His memoir explores what it means to be a child and a man of mixed race in Australia in the early part of the 20th century, and how he bravely overcame both his shame and self-doubt to become the extraordinary person that he was.</p>...(*_*)1230008792181_<p>Henry Edward (Ted) Clifton story begins in the early morning, December 1912 on a busy quayside at Tilbury docks, London. He stands alone, waiting with all his worldly belongings crammed into a battered suitcase at his feet. The youngster is five year old Henry Edward Clifton -- Ted. As he waits, buffeted by the wind and circumstances beyond his control, he is accompanied only by a note, instructing the ships captain to put him ashore at Perth. Across the ocean lies the vast sun-baked continent of Australia: a new life... and his errant mother. Ted adjusts to living with Maud on a remote sheep station, navigates the rough seas of boarding school, uses his wit and wily character to survive the boxing rings and racetracks of Perths gambling culture, forges a career during the Great Depression, sees military action in war-torn France and builds a successful post war life in Sydney as a entrepreneur and father. Although Teds life is largely one of adventure and triumph over adversity, a thread of uncertainty and sadness runs through it: his unknown father. This struggle with this mystery, with always being a New Australian contributed to a rollercoaster of work, bankruptcy and dependency on alcohol. Overcoming his demons with the help of family and friends forged an unbreakable bond with the land and the people that would shape him into a man who was truly Australian made.</p>...(*_*)1230008792181_<p>Henry Edward (Ted) Clifton story begins in the early morning, December 1912 on a busy quayside at Tilbury docks, London.
