Read their story
My family migrated under a scheme which provided free passage for ex-British soldiers. Tradesmen had priority, but due to my mother's persistent requests to Australia House, we were given a passage provided that we had a sponsor. This was gained through a cousin and my father commenced work at the Midland railway workshops.
