Theothosios Koroneos - Theo Corones - was sponsored to Australia, as a youth, by his maternal uncle George, and aunty Georgia, later of Beverley Hills.
He lost a leg to an infection in his late twenties, a few years after this photograph was taken.
Part of his rehabilitation involved art therapy. He later became quite a famous artist in "Kytherian" circles.
He settled in Sydney, and drove cabs for many decades, before attempting later in life to re-establish himself in Karavas, Kythera.
He returned to Australia, and retired to the North Queensland coastal town of Bargara.
