| | | | | |and my quest to find my mother, a British soldier and a secret agent |
| | | | | |for the Allies in WWIIsent by the Dutch to spy on the Germans in Arnhem|
| | | | | |just prior to the Market Garden Campaign. This true story is a new |
| | | | | |small piece of intelligence history, similar to the film and book 'A |
| | | | | |Bridge too far'. The need to substantiate the family stories told to me|
| | | | | |by my 'new' biological family and follow up my mother's war record sent|
| | | | | |me on a quest that I've been told reads like an episode of Foyle's War,|
| | | | | |and is reminiscent of the atmosphere in The Imitation Game. Mother too |
| | | | | |was a driver stationed close to Bletchley Park, and was married to the |
| | | | | |British Army's pigeon expert. This book has featured in an interview |
| | | | | |with Richard Fidler on the 16th April 2015. Secrets, Spies and Spotted |
| | | | | |Dogs was a joint winner in the autobiography/biography category of the |
| | | | | |2015 Next Generation Indie Book Award Program in New York in May 2015, |

| | |Mob 0414 513 463 | |James Chisholm (1772-1838) |Chisholm travelled to the new British colony of New South Wales to take|
| | | | | |up a position with the Rum Corps. Within three decades, he had |
| | | | | |transformed himself into a wealthy merchant and landowner who helped |
| | | | | |lay the foundations of colonial Australia. Chisholm’s “rags to riches” |
| | | | | |story is told for the first time in a long overdue history of this |
| | | | | |important pioneer that also enriches our knowledge of the colony during|
| | | | | |a dynamic period. In his new book, The Merchant of Sydney, Chis Maxwell|
| | | | | |details Chisholm’s extensive business dealings, landholdings, and the |
| | | | | |influential positions he held, including as a Director of the Bank of |
| | | | | |NSW. He was the sixth largest landholder and stockholder in the colony |
| | | | | |in 1828, owning vast rural holdings (nearly 23,000 acres) as well as |
| | | | | |significant properties in central Sydney. In a life characterised by |
| | | | | |faith, loyalty, family and self-improvement, this gruff but quietly |
| | | | | |spoken Scot commanded wide respect and made his mark on a new society. |
