Police Report, T. B. McCarthy, M.C., Redruth, 24 August 1916: arrived in SA when 5; husband was German but died 15 years ago, 'alleged to have been naturalized about twenty-one years ago.' She thought she was also then made British. 2 sons enlisted, 'one of them who fought in the Boer War is now at the front, another is in Camp, and has been invalided home on account of illness, and a third son has submitted himself for examination, and has been rejected on account of defective eye-sight... applicant bears a good character, and has never been known to display any sign of disloyalty by word or act.' 'fit and proper'; associates with some Germans but no more than British 'old friends and acquaintences'
