 In 1942 he reports that he arrived in 1914 at Adelaide, date and ship's name unknown, that he paid his own fare and that he had no family or friends in Australia on arrival.But there is no record of his entry into a South Australian port as either a passenger, crew member or ship's deserter over a wide date range around 1914.Neither is he recorded as a passenger entering through a port in Western Australia or Victoria over an equally wide date range.
