Ted Jones was born in Swanbourne, Western Australia and educated at Christ Church Grammar School and Scotch College. While a student he served in the kilted Scotch College Cadet Corps, 1939-41 and with the Air Training Corps 1941-42, giving him a good grounding in military activity. Signed by Author.
