Frank S. FitzGerald-Bush was born at Hialeah, Florida, USA on 11 October 1925, son of the late Frank Shepard Bush, an American, and Lady Irene Bush, British-born daughter of HRH Prince Alfred of Edinburgh, KG, Erbprinz of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, who was grandson paternally of Britain's Queen Victoria and maternally of Czar Alexander II of Russia. Both strains - American and British - are evident in his life and in his writings, prose and verse. His first volume of poems, "Native Treasure" (1943), was greeted as a work of youthful force, though FitzGerald-Bush recalls it with some discomfort as 'highly imitative of my favourite poets'. His essays, reviews and verse appeared in periodicals in the U. S. and abroad, but not until 1968 was his second volume, "Sonnets in Search of Sequence" published. It was hailed as proof that the sonnet remained a living form, and FitzGerald-Bush was called 'a master of the sonnet, well grounded in the classics'. His third volume, "Remembered Spring", published in 1974 and reprinted in 1975, showed his continued skill with the sonnet, and mastery of the lyric and free verse. Less widely known are his historical writings, which have dealt with subjects ranging from Eastern Europe to his native Florida. "A Dream of Araby: Glenn H. Curtiss and Opa-locka" (1976) recounts with gentle humour and pathos his parents' experiences working with the pioneer aviator and aircraft manufacturer who attempted to build a dream city, whose motif derived from the fables of Scheherazade, on the site of a thousand-year old camp ground of the Tequestas, Florida pre-Columbian Indians. In 1974 Vivian Laramore Rader, Poet Laureate of Florida, asked FitzGerald-Bush to take her place as instructor of her class in verse techniques and poetry appreciation, a post he has held since. In 1975 he was appointed historian of the Miami-West India Archaeological Society and director of the society's South Florida Museum of Opa-locka. Educated at various schools and colleges, FitzGerald-Bush was awarded A. B. (1953) and M. A. (1964) degrees from the University of Miami. During World War II, he served in the RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force), and later as a volunteer ambulancier with the American Field Service, attached to the British Army in Burma. A private in the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve during peacetime, he enlisted in the U. S. Air Force during the Korean War, becoming historian of the Southern European Material Area. He has been active in many groups, among them the English-Speaking Union, Irish Georgian Society, RAF Association, County Kildare Archaeological Society, and the Sons of the American Revolution.
