Henry Kaufman on the right wearing sheepskin jacket sent to France during the severe winter of 1916/1917. Henry was promoted to Captain in the field in October 1917.

The reference provided at the naturalisation application of Henry’s father George Henry Kaufman in 1869 was signed by C. Gavan Duffy. Duffy was a barrister and a Member of the Legislative Assembly when he signed this reference.

Herweg brothers – of Enemy Descent John Christian, DOI Thomas George, DOA Robert Herman, RTA

Fred Herweg gives permission to his young son John Christian to enlist – if he was fit. A heart condition escaped the notice of the army doctors, and he duly embarked for Egypt and died there a few months later. He is buried in the Cairo War Memorial Cemetery.

465 (now about 565) Mt Alexander Road, Moonee Ponds Fred Herweg, the boss. The family business in Moonee Ponds

Frederick suffered from malicious rumours circulated about him during the South African War, when he was accused of being sympathetic to the Boers. Frederick Wilhelm Herweg had emigrated to Australia in 1872. He married in 1875 to Elizabeth Bond, born in Blackwood, Victoria in 1856. Her parents were both English. Frederick applied for naturalisation 10 days after war was declared in 1914. He noted he had 7 sons and 2 daughters. He had lived 42 years in Australia.

John Patrick Lundmark, 31st Battery, Australian Field Artillery, Citizens Military Forces.

John Patrick Lundmark John has to endorse his application to enlist that his father was born in Sweden.

The Vosti family of Ascot Vale, 1914 John Vosti (centre in the dark vest) and his wife Nance (standing behind him, to his right), were both born in Australia. John’s father had emigrated in the goldrush from and Italian speaking part of Switzerland. Nance’s family had arrived before the goldrush.

Pte Leslie Vosti, bandsman and stretcher-bearer with the 3rd Pioneer Battalion. Les Vosti had to endorse his form to say his parents were born in Australia.

Albert Frederick Hahn of Henry St, Kensington. Letter to AIF HQ Albert Hahn’s son enlisted in his mother’s maiden name of Williams. In trying to get in touch with him through the army, Albert, who was a second generation South Australian, felt obliged to make strenuous declarations of loyalty….

Two out of the three Hahn sons who enlisted did so using a false name – but in reading their B2455 service record, it seems possible that they did this to hide from their father, rather than hide their “German” name. The letter illustrates Albert Hahn’s anxiety to appease the Government lest they fix their eye upon him as an Enemy Alien.

Four German pastrycooks who emigrated to Australia in 1909: Fritz Friedrich, Otto Plarre, Bill Tonn & Adam Bassemir. These men remained in business, not interned, but may have been obliged to register as an Enemy Aliens and report to a police station every week under the War Precautions Act. That remains to be further investigated.

Unification of Germany 1871 When the parents of the young men who joined the AIF came to Australian in the goldrush, Germany did not exist. It is not certain that those men who came from Bavaria, Saxony or Mecklenburg 20 years earlier even considered themselves German.
