Author and activist. Francis Joseph (Frank) Hardy was born at Southern Cross, Victoria in 1917. He joined the Communist Party of Australia in 1939 and served in the AIF from 1942-1945.

He was found not guilty and went on to write novels, plays, television and film scripts including The outcasts of Foolgarah (1971), The unlucky Australians (book 1967; film 1973), and But the dead are many (1975).
