Thought she was British already. Reporting each week to the Police Station in Tweeds Head ‘puts me to a lot of inconvenience’ (her to DEA, 11/11/15, p.8), but doesn’t go into any more details.

Further comments

Father naturalised. Not considered exceptional or over 60 so Rejected (Mahon, 22 Dec 1915). Might have helped her if she had. See her mother’s successful application from the same time: NAA: A1, 1915/13656, E.M.C. Eliese Magerethe Christine Petersen
