I'm Ken Clezy, an eldest son, living in Adelaide now.   If you look us up in the phone book under Clezy JKA you'll find me. I'd be very pleased to see you.  My own memoirs have just been published by Wakefield Press, who tell me l'm their fastest selling author right now, whatever that means.

'Now in Remission - A Surgical Life' is Ken Clezy's memoirs, just published by Wakefield Press.   Three chapters about recent 6 years in Yemen, but most is about time in Papua New Guinea, plus some family history and upbringing.  Book Depository say they will have it from Oct 31. How they send books all over the world post-free beats me, but they do.  They have an email link to allow notification as soon as it is available.

re John Clezy, rector of Selkirk Grammar School who migrated to South Australia in 1849: he was said to have a refined English accent, which suggests he was brought up south of the border.  He said he learnt English at Woolwich, and Greek and Latin at Berwick.  Berwick-upon-Tweed had the first purpose-built army barracks in the north of England, so it is very likely that his father was stationed at both places.
