“Having been brought up during the Depression years, lost at sea at the age of 9, shipwrecked at 14, being out of work at 15, carrying my swag and looking for work in Northern N.S.W. and southern Queensland at 16 are just a few things that happened in my life before most people started theirs.  Six years in the A.I.F. in World War 2, serving in a dozen different countries, 38 years in the S.A. Police Force, 23 years of it as Detective Sargeant in charge of the Riverland Criminal Investigation Branch.”
