Czech Family History

Hello to all!
I am an Australian, trying to find information regarding my Great-Grandfather, born in Prague (referred to by my family as a Bohemian). He was born in the 1890's , his Parents were in stage/theatre and his Godfather was the great Czech' Composer "Dvorak"!.
He migrated to Australia (via America and England) at around the age of 15yrs. He had a ticket to board the Titanic, but quite literally missed the ship!. He fought in WW1 (having given a false age) for either the Australian or British Army (I'm not sure), and was discovered (late in life) to have had Tuberculosis. He died (I think) in the 1980's in Victoria, Australia.
Does anyone know anything more about him, and even more so, whether or not I have any distant Czech relatives.
I shall most eagerly, and with great anticipation, await a reply.
Thankyou to all, kindest regards
Amanda H
