Frank Ward passed away in very tragic circumstances, on the 27th April 1996.
He came to Fairbridge Molong in May 1948. This postwar party had 14 other children. The ship was the Empire Brent.
A total of 28 children arrived in various parties during 1948.
Frank was sometimes called Whopper, by the Fairbridge kids. Apparently he lived the life of a loner, for whatever reason.
Derek Moriarty remembers him well.
