A cheeky-looking Clive Burnett Bird. Photo taken about 1940.
He worked in the RACQ (Royal Automobile Club of Queensland) for a number of years; first in Road Service, then an office job, later installing road signs.
During WWII he served in the Pacific (most likely as an engineer of some sort), and was subsequently awarded a number of medals. In the 1950s he lived in the Brisbane suburb of Bowen Hills, later moving to an old Queenslander in Wynnum Rd (East Brisbane). Later again he moved into a home somewhere on the Sunshine Coast - possibly passing away in the mid 1980s.
I absolutely love this show
provides a perfect look at how fascinating this type of research can be. And more practically, it demonstrates precisely how to trace your own family tree.
