HUGO GEORGE PAUL TUENDEMANN
Hugo George Paul Tuendemann, Reg. No. 1823, was the son of Wilhelm Heinrich Christoph Tuendemann and Mary Louisa nee Grosser, of Bells Road Athelstone, South Australia. He was born in Truro, South Australia, on 8th October 1898. His occupation was stated as labourer. On 8th December 1914 he enlisted into the 10th Infantry Battalion just after he turned nineteen. On 1st April 1915 he sailed to Gallipoli from Adelaide on HMAT Port Lincoln. After the evacuation from Gallipoli, he was sent to Egypt in December 1915. From Egypt he was shipped to Marseilles in France. He was promoted to Lance-Corporal in France. By December 1916 he had to be evacuated to England due to illness. The diagnosis was Trench Feet. He was treated in Dartford military hospital. When his treatment finished he was transferred to the School of Musketry at Tidworth. He qualified from there with a fair working knowledge of the Lewis gun. He sailed from Folkstone to France, to Elaples. He suffered severe gunshot wounds in action in August of 1918. His right leg was severely fractured, and his left leg was also suffering from gunshot wounds. He was taken to the Military Hospital at Rouen, and from there was evacuated to England. His mother wrote to the Red Cross to find out the extent of his injuries. It was May 1919 before he could be returned to Australia on the Hospital ship Karoola.
