Clive Crowley
Lieutenant Clive Stanley Crowley DCM (2 August 1890 – 25 June 1918) was an Australian grazier who served and died in the Australian Army during the First World War. Letters between Crowley and his mother were part of the historical material that inspired the libretto of An Australian War Requiem.
Family
Crowley was one of eight children born to Alice (née Bridger 1859–1949) and John Crowley (1847–1925) of Cobbadah station near Barraba, New South Wales. His siblings were: Mabel (1880–1946); Arley (1882–1959); Royce (1884–1963); Audrey (1886–1943); Mildred (1888–1964); Frank (1892–1937); and Keith (1902–1974). The Crowley family were wealthy Methodist graziers who had pioneered European settlement in north-western New South Wales. They traced their Australian origins to John Crowley, who arrived as a convict in 1803. He was transported for life for stealing a sheep and his son, Clive's grandfather, settled at Cobbadah. The station was in the Nandewar Range, north of Tamworth. Clive was a first cousin, on both the maternal and paternal lines, of the early modern artist Grace Crowley. Both their mothers and fathers were siblings.
