Auguste was born in Australia, but married a German musician. He became a naturalised Australian.
Letters are attached - she has to request naturalisation again as she had become German by marriage.
Query - was she not a naturalised Australian through her husband, so why does she have to reapply? Department of External Affairs insists she lost her British nationality when she married.
Her daughter is Australian as she was born in Australia.
