"CORPORAL C. W. HUF.
Corporal C. W. Huf, elder son of Mr. and Mrs. C. Huf, late of Balhannah, is another of the Australians of German ancestry who have sacrificed their lives in the cause of justice in this war. He was born in Victoria, but educated principally in South Australia, at the Blumberg Lutheran School and the Blumberg and Mount Barker High, Schools. He enlisted as a member of the first contingent, and was 20 years of age. Of a quiet, unassuming disposition, he was highly esteemed. He was a grandson of Mrs. G. Promnitz, of Blumberg, and a nephew of Pastor Brauer of Hahndorf. His parents now reside in Sunbury, Victoria." - from the Adelaide Chronicle 05 Jun 1915 (nla.gov.au)
