South Adelaide secretary Harold Pearce lists “C. Cassebohm” amongst the 43 South players who had enlisted by June 1916, when the list was published in The Advertiser on 7 June. This can only be Curt Cassebohm who was a 29-year-old car salesman from the Adelaide suburb of Norwood when he enlisted in the AIF in February 1918. He had been born in the nearby suburb of Kent Town and was married.
He served in France and England as an aircraft mechanic until he was discharged in February 1919. He is named in just one published South Adelaide soccer squad, for a league game on 14 June 1913. Curt and his brother Fred, also a returned man, appeared frequently in published cricket teams together both before and after the war. Very few South Australians of German descent were involved with soccer at this stage, so Curt Cassebohm was an unusual Soccer Anzac in both his occupation and background.
