Harry was 13 when his father died. He has reconstructed his fathers life, and where information was spare, has carefully researched how such people lived. Discovering harsh the life of a stockman, a shearer and a general labourer. Harry has illuminated his fathers life with material such as letters home from the battlefront, photographs, including those of such necessities as snake bit kits. Clem Hills life was one of hard work, harsh conditions, tempered by his skill as a bushman. During his military service Clem was wounded three times and it was only when his arm and shoulder were shattered that he was considered unfit for service. The severe wounds he received affected him for the rest of his life (one arm being rendered almost useless). This is a picture of life in rural Australia before, during and after World War 1 and during the Depression.
