He received the award as member of the 2/43rd Battalion, during the Borneo campaign of World War II. ==Early life== Tom Starcevich was born the son of immigrants to Western Australia: Gertrude May Starcevich née Waters (born c. 1897, in Dunkirk, Kent, England) and Joseph Starcevich (born c. 1892, in Lič, Croatia-Slavonia, Austro-Hungarian Empire). The couple were married in 1915 at Mt Magnet. Tom was born on 5 September 1918 at Subiaco. Starcevich and his older brother, Joseph Frederick (Joe) Starcevich (1915–2007) grew up on a farm at Grass Patch, north of Esperance, Western Australia. Tom was one of ten children.
