- Mr. August Klauer, for many years a member of the Adelaide City Council, yesterday celebrated his seventy-sixth birth day in Ballarat, where he is visiting in connection with the band competitions. Mr. Klauer, who formerly held a commission of lieutenant in the German Army, was in the early fifties digging on the goldFields in Victoria and New South Wales. He took an active part in three diggings risings — the Eureka Stockade, the Ovens Chinese, riots, and the risings at Lambing Flat, New South Wales. During the Crimean war he went to London, and volunteered for service with a German corps that was being formed, but as the authorities would only confer upon him the rank of corporal he withdrew.[1]
