Add my storyBiography contributed by Claude McKelvey
Charles George Gehrmann was born on 24 Jul 1874 at Ipswich, Queensland, a son to August Frederick Gehrmann and Christina Gehrmann (nee Low). He married Alice Maud Shaw on 9 Oct 1911 in Brisbane and they had 3 children.
He had an interest in photography and some of his photos documenting service of the 5th QIB in the Boer War are held by the AWM in their collections-media, see link on this profile. After serving in the South African (Boer) War he returned to the Brisbane area where it appears he qualified as an accountant.
