Der Kamerad : Wochenschrift der Kriegsgefangenen auf Torrens Island, S. Australien

1915, Manuscript, D 7738(L)

A weekly, handwritten and illustrated newspaper issued by Germans interned on Torrens Island during World War I. It was edited by Walter Emde. Torrens Island is located at the mouth of Adelaide's Port River, in South Australia. Over 350 'enemy aliens' were interned at the Torrens Island Concentration Camp which opened on 9 October 1914 and closed on 17 August 1915. Internees were mainly of German or Austro-Hungarian background, including some who were naturalised British citizens. In South Australia, a relatively high percentage of migrants were of German background, and so the 'enemy alien' concept had a significant effect. Not all were held as internees in camps; some were required to report to local police on a regular basis. Consists of three items: No.1 (12 June 1915), No.2 (19 June 1915) and No.3 (26 June 1915).
