Life began in this peaceful country village because his mother had been evacuated from London due to the bombing raids by the Luftwaffe, and sadly Harding never knew his father who was serving in the Royal Navy and went down with HMS Penelope when she was sunk in the Mediterranean in February 1944 with dreadful loss of life. Philip's mother was subsequently remarried to William (Bill) Orton who had been serving in the Middle East with the Royal Corps of Signals. They had two further children and in 1951, tiring of the austerity of postwar Britain, the young Orton family - Philip retaining his father's name at the Harding family's request - decided to emigrate to Australia. The long sea voyage was made in the SS Largs Bay, named after a place meaning nothing to the young Harding, but which he would come to know years later. First Australian landfall was made in Fremantle appropriately on New Year’s Day 1952, the family finally disembarking in Melbourne and making what was Philip's first flight, in a Convair, to Hobart as his stepfather was contracted to work in Tasmania as a teacher. Growing up in New Norfolk, Harding first attended St Virgil’s College as a boarder, which was a challenging experience as a 10 year old new immigrant of whom there were then very few, and subsequently Hobart High School as a day boy. After two and a half years the parents decided that opportunities would be better on the mainland and moved to Adelaide where both Bill and Molly continued teaching careers, initially in Salisbury North. Having some influence in the Education Department, Mr Orton managed to get the young Harding enrolled at Adelaide Boys High School, then a very new school and where Philip completed his education between 1954 and 1957, winning a Commonwealth Scholarship and Leaving Bursary to study medicine at the University of Adelaide, along with the Hugh Cairns scholarship, awarded to an Adelaide High student who is to study medicine. These well resourced scholarships enabled the young medical student to take up residence at Aquinas College in 1958 and it was in the second year of his medical course that life with the RAAF began when, along with university friends Peter Jolly and Ian Favilla, he joined the Adelaide University Squadron, then based at Barton Terrace North Adelaide which was, for Philip and Peter at least, just a short walk from Aquinas. This was obviously a good recruiting exercise as all three had careers of some duration in the permanent air force: Ian Favilla’s life story including Vietnam service appears elsewhere in this book, and Peter Jolly served with distinction as a pilot, flying instructor and eventually commanding officer of 34 Squadron. On completing preclinical studies in 1960, Harding spent a University vacation in Alice Springs with fellow third year student John Campbell, whose father was a veterinary pathologist and also provided the pathology services to the hospital there. Campbell was another early associate who had a distinguished military medical career, this time in the RAAMC as is also detailed in the pages of this book. The visit to Alice Springs was a particularly important life event as it was the occasion of Harding meeting his future wife Rosemary McGrady, a member of the well-known Central Australian Gorey family. It also opened the way to a long professional association with Alice Springs in later life. In 1961 Harding completed a B Med Sc(Hons) in physiology and at the end of 1964 graduated MBBS. In January 1964 he and Rosemary were married, their life together being helped more than a little by his being commissioned into the RAAF undergraduate scheme. Following internship at the Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) in 1965, Philip was promoted FltLt and posted to 4 RAAF Hospital at Butterworth, Malaysia. Butterworth was a multiservice base with Army as well as Air Force personnel, both Australian and British as well as a few Malaysians. The Emergency was long over by then and life generally pleasant in the tropical environment
