Has anyone anything else on this officer?
That is very interesting! Is it possible to find the newspaper or to make a contact with the family?Peter H wrote:There was an article about the Zimmermann family in a South Australian newspaper a few years ago.South Australia had a large community of German-Australians.His journals and papers were still held by his daughter(or granddaughter) indicating that he died in Australia.He came out Australia in the 1920s I think.
