Photograph, Elliott & Fry, Lieutenant Charles George De Beauvoir Tupper, 1893
Charles George De Beauvoir Tupper was the son of Daniel William and Elizabeth Tupper. He entered naval college in 1885 after securing a Royal Navy cadetship. Lieutenant Tupper transferred from HMS Swallow to HMS Racer in May 1893. Both ships were operating from the Cape of Good Hope station at the time. In September 1893 HMS Racer found itself in the middle of Brazil’s third military coup in four years. The squadron of British ships in Guanabara Bay comprised HMS Beagle, Racer and Sirius. Just before 2 pm on the afternoon of 3 November 1893 a party from each of the ships in the British squadron sailed up the harbour to obtain sand and enjoy a little land based recreation. Apparently, this was a weekly event and the sand was used to swab the ships’ decks. They landed on Governador Island, the largest of the hundred and thirty or so islands in the bay. The island was under the control of the navy insurgents and had two magazines or stores for powder and shells. The cutters from the HMS Racer and Beagle landed on the beach between the two stores. Charles was killed when the powder magazine exploded at 3.40 pm. Charles' father Daniel William Tupper was brevetted Colonel in 1866 and when Brigadier General George Jackson Carey was appointed to command the Australian forces and came to Melbourne, Daniel accompanied him. When Sir Charles Darling, the Governor of Victoria was recalled to England, Carey became Acting Governor of Victoria from May to August 1866. Daniel Tupper served as his Aide-de-Camp or private secretary during this time. Carey returned to England in 1867 to command the 2nd Infantry Brigade at Aldershot with Daniel Tupper as his Aide-de-Camp.Portrait with stained wooden frame. No glass covering the picture. Hooks and wire for hanging on the back. A printed sheet of paper with the hymn 'A voice from heaven' in loving memory of Charles George De Beauvoir Tupper - Died Nov 3 1893 - Aged 21 years has been glued to the back of the frame.With Mrs Tupper's kind regardslieutenant charles george de beauvoir tupper, elizabeth christie, lieutenant colonel daniel william tupper, hms racer, hms raleigh -

Book, E Lloyd Sommerlad, The migrant shepherd : Ober-Rosbach to Tenterfield, 1986
This is the story of a German peasant who was contracted to serve as a shepherd for a Darling Downs squatter in the mid nineteenth century. John Henry Sommerlad sailed from Hamburg in a small sailing ship directly to Moreton Bay and then trudged behind a bullock waggon over the Great Dividing Range to a sheep run near Warwick. Later he settled in New England and became a successful pioneer farmer. The story is set in its historical context and the book describes the background of squatter expansion, labour problems during the gold rush and Australian immigration, as well as the life style of the pioneers. Part social history, part local history and part family history. The Migrant Shepherd makes an important and well documented contribution to the record of German settlement in Australia. In a Foreword. Professor Geoffrey Blainey says, "This story of his life, sensitively pieced together from many fragments, is like that of thousands of other Australians of his day. and that's what now makes it so revealing."
