Thomas FitzGerald and Thomas Martin Cowan were the same man … he used an alias, have no idea why.
He was my grandfather; my mother was his daughter by Hannah Helena. I never met him. He served with a Western Australian machine gun squadron in Malaysia, was imprisoned as a POW in Changi and came back, as many did, with fairly serious psychological issues - hence the breakdown of his marriage. He founded the Western Australian cray-fishing industry etc,
