Bottcher Family Archive Contents

These personal records and documents were provided by Hermann Bottcher’s cousin after she was located by Stephen Martin. At Stephen's suggestion, she and her husband graciously donated Bottcher’s medals and other personal effects to the Australian War Museum where they were eagerly accepted, recollecting that Bottcher fought beside the Australians in New Guinea and was remembered to this day with respect and admiration.
