I beg to report having on the 2nd August
seen John NEBEL, the father of the man referred to at No. 62 Bungalow Road, South Norwood.
Rebel
He stated his son Werner Rudolph/was born at Carlton
on the 20th January 1892.
Nebel's three daughters are all married, the eldest to a Scotchman, the 2nd to an Englishmen, and the young- est to a Frenchman, they are all in business but neither
are British Officers.
There is no proof that Werner ever volunteered for the Army and was medically rejected. His father states
that it is an established fact that he had to leave Wool-
wich Dockyard through unpleasantness owing to hie Germen
parentage.
It is correct that he changed his name by Deed Poll in September 1915 to Noble.
His father has never been naturalised but in Ocotber
1914 made un application.
