Victor Posse was born in Brighton, Sussex, England in 1927. He volunteered for service in the Royal Navy in October 1944 and was called upon early 1945 under the terms of the 'Y' Entry Scheme but discharged as medically unfit, shortly after the end of the war in Europe. In 1969, when working with a leading Swedish tyre manufacturer, he was offered a position in Australian and subsequently migrated to Melbourne in 1970, with his wife and two daughters. In 1983 he decided to take on the daunting task of researching and then writing his family history from the viewpoint of his posse forebears. He achieved a reasonable degree of success in tracing his line, with certainty, back to a marriage in northern Germany in 1702. Beyond that date, however, further enquiries proved impossible. Vic then researched his cousin, Ronald Walter posse, who had been killed in a flying accident in the Northern Territory of Australia in WWII. This is the story of Ron's life, wartime career and early tragic death in 1944 as a Spitfire pilot. Since its completion, Vic has commenced writing mystery adventure novels under the pen name of Robert Julien, and the first trilogy, The Moncrieff Beneficence, was electronically published on the Internet in February 2001. It was nominated for the prestigious Sime Gen Favourite Mystery Book Award in May 2001. The other two books, Bail Up 'The Phoenix' and Codename Cardinal are to follow.
