Kenneth Price is a Vietnam War veteran. When he was seventeen, he enlisted in the Australian Army and was trained as a medic. He was sent to Vietnam in 1968 and served with 8th Field Ambulance and 1st Australian Field Hospital. His grandfather served in the Royal Australian 9th Battalion in France from 1916 to 1918, and Kenneth's father served in the Australian Army during World War II. Kenneth's uncle also served as a bomber pilot in World War II and he was killed when his plane was shot down in 1944. After returning from Vietnam, Kenneth married and went to university where he graduated with an Arts degree (with Distinction), majoring in History and Literature. He also has a Bachelor of Education and a Masters (with Distinction) in Australian Political History.Kenneth spent fourteen years teaching History and English at Brisbane Grammar School and eight years as a lecturer in English in Singapore, where he helped his students obtain their 'O' and 'A' level certificates from Cambridge University. Writing has always been his passion and following retirement he was inspired to research his family's military history. This led to writing his first book, Broken Lives, which covers some of the exploits of his grandfather's 9th Battalion, and now his second book, Kokoda Mist, covers his father and mother's generation. Kenneth has six children and eleven grandchildren. He is currently married to his second wife, Luz, and lives in Hervey Bay, Queensland.
