Donald Adolphus Cichero

(Confirmed)

Born: 1 October, 1894

Died: 11 April, 1931

Biographical Summary:

Donald Adolphus Cichero was known as Dolphi in the family, but used his other name as anti German sentiment built. He was a talented artist and used cameras and drew portraits, I'm told he did this during the war, but can't find any reference to him as an official war artist.

After returning to Australia he found it hard to settle, and moved to the United States. He married and had two children, a boy and a girl. He sadly took his own life, while in the United States.
