    The last surviving Australian Victoria Cross winner of WWII turns 90 today.
    Ted was awarded his VC for bravery in New Guinea in 1945.

    In a later engagement Ted was shot in the face. Ted heard the unit priest being told Ted would probably die, Ted heard this & thought to himself...."Pigs".
    Typical of the generation.
