German, age 36, dental surgeon, very positive police report with lots of impressive references, single, not proceeded with 20 Oct 1914; Approved 24 May 1922 (not posted until June). THe JP listed is also her employer and a practicing dentist, Leonard Gabriel.
From 1922 application, they send letter, 30 March 1922, ask about a visit to Germany in 1914. She writes: ‘Left Sydney 18.3.14 per S.S. Friedrich der Grosse, with the object of attending International Dental Congress in London (enclose Card to prove my statement), Left Liverpool Aug. 10th 1914 per S.S. Nestor arriving Sydney 27 or 29 Sept. 1914.’
1922 Police Report: ‘During the war the Police looked upon applicant as a person of pro-German sympathies but there is no record on the files in this office of any acts or utterances of disloyalty.’ Implication maybe because of German visit just before war? Interesting because no suspicions in the Police Report from 1914 (Senior Constable McMurray, Clarence Street, Sydney, 13 Oct 1914), or elsewhere in file.
