Add my storyBiography contributed by Claude McKelvey
When Cuthbert Moller enlisted in the 5th QIB in 1901 his details were published with the rank and file in The Queenslander, 16 Mar 1901, p. 517, where he noted his N.O.K. as his father Gustave Moller, Axe Creek, near Bendigo, Victoria.
Cuthbert Moller was born in 1877 in South Australia, a son to Gustave Freidrich Christian Moller. His father passed in 1925 at Bendigo, Victoria and notice of his death was published in several newspapers including the Saturday Journal (Adelaide), 3 Oct 1925, p. 30. In the notice his family note Gustave was born in Germany and arrived with his parents in Adelaide in 1848. He learnt and worked his trade as saddler in Adelaide and Port Lincoln before relocating to Bendigo, Victoria. A search of the online index of Genealogy SA confirms Cuthbert's birth in 1877 in the district of Flinders.
