Richard Harry Graves

Richard Harry Graves (17 July 1898 - 3 February 1971) was an Irish-born Australian poet and novelist.

In World War II Graves founded and led the Australian Jungle Rescue Detachment of 60 soldiers, which was attached to the Far East American Airforce. These men conducted over 300 rescues, all of which were completed successfully and without losses. After the war he ran a bushcraft school for over twenty years.

Aside from poetry and adventure novels for children, he wrote ten classic books on camping and bushcraft, now published in a single volume. He was a cousin of the English writer Robert Graves.
