George Devine TRELOAR was born in 1884 in Ballarat Vic. About 1900 he was a Bank Clerk / Jackaroo / Actor / Soldier in Australia, Turkey, Russia. This biography has been include mostly because it is an interesting story of adventure : -

TRELOAR, GEORGE DEVINE (1884-1980), gentleman of fortune, was born on 23 April 1884 at Ballarat, Victoria, son of Thomas Reid Treloar, chemist, and his wife Jane, née Devine, both Victorian born. Educated at Ballarat's St Patrick's College, he was a bank clerk at Ballarat for five years, then a jackeroo in western Victoria before he farmed in Western Australia. While travelling by ship to Adelaide, he was recruited by actor-manager Julius Knight and toured Australia with his troup, playing in romantic dramas. Oscar Asche <http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A070108b.htm> took Treloar to South Africa and England where he was acting when war broke out in 1914.
Having previously served at Ballarat as a lieutenant in the 3rd Victorian Rifles, Treloar immediately volunteered. Although rejected because of defective eyesight, he wangled his way into the 20th Middlesex (Artists) Rifle Volunteers in 1915 as a private and secured a transfer to the Coldstream Guards. He served in France, was commissioned and ultimately promoted to major, second-in-command of the 3rd Battalion. Buried twice by shellbursts on the Somme and almost bullet-riddled at Ypres, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and the Military Cross. In 1918 he commanded the Brigade of Guards Officers' School of Instruction and, following the Armistice, served with his battalion in the Rhineland Occupation Force.
After commanding the post-war Royal Military, Naval and Air Force Tournament at Olympia, London, in 1919, Treloar joined the British Mission to the White Russian armies as assistant military secretary to Major-General Holman. At Constantinople after the withdrawal of the mission, Treloar served with the Tsarist army as a colonel under Baron Wrangel. When the White Russians were defeated Treloar commanded a British camp for Russian refugees at Tousla on the Sea of Marmora. His attempt to set up as a timber concessions trader in Constantinople was frustrated by the Turks. He then became a representative of the League of Nations High Commissariat for Refugees in northern Greece.
In 1922-26** Treloar was engaged in the resettlement of Greek refugees from Asia Minor; at first he worked at Gumuldjina (Komotini) in Thrace and later in Salonika; by 1923 his mission was handling over 108,000 refugees. His efforts to organize food, shelter, medical care and resettlement precipitated disputes with indifferent league officials in Geneva and with a senior Greek official. Treloar was appointed to the Order of the Saviour (gold cross) and a refugee village (Thrilorion) near Komotini was named after him.
In Constantinople on 27 December 1923 Treloar married Kathleen May Douch whose father was an engineering consultant to the Turkish government. When the league's resettlement operation ended, Treloar suffered severe financial loss in a fraudulent mining investment and in 1927 returned to Australia to seek work. Eight years later his family rejoined him. He sold insurance and sought business opportunities in Queensland before unsuccessfully contesting the New South Wales Legislative Assembly seat of Ashfield for the United Australia Party in 1930. In that year Colonel Eric Campbell <http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A070550b.htm> appointed him second-in-command of the New Guard. In 1931, however, Treloar denounced Campbell as a Fascist and militarist, and founded his own short-lived movement, the Civic Legion.
In 1935 the Treloars moved to Western Australia where George prospected and managed several mining enterprises. As 'The Archer', he became known for his trenchant radio commentaries on foreign affairs and for his programme, 'Perth Speaks'. A handsome man of commanding presence, forthright speech and strongly-held conservative views, 'the Major' stood unsuccessfully for the Legislative Council seat of West Province in 1950 and worked for the Liberal and Country League until 1956. Treloar died on 29 November 1980 at Dalkeith and was buried in the Anglican section of Karrakatta cemetery, Perth. His wife and two sons survived him.

GEORGE DEVINE TRELOAR born on 23 Apr 1884 in Ballarat, Victoria and died on 29 Nov 1980 in Perth WA, age 96. George married Kathleen May DOUCH on 31 Dec 1923 in Constantinople. Kathleen was born on 7 May 1901 in Constantinople, where her father was an Engineer with the Ottoman Debt
.
George Devine Treloar was commissioned as a lieutenant in the part-time 7th Australian Infantry Regiment in 1904. After working briefly in banking and on remote grazing stations he joined a succession of touring theatrical companies, including those of the famous Julius Knight and Oscar Asche. Notably he acted in the premiere performance of "On Our Selection", a famous Australian folkloric play, in Melbourne in 1912. After acting in various countries, he enlisted as a private soldier in the 28th Battalion The London Regiment (Artists Rifles) in mid 1915.
In October 1915 he became a Second Lieutenant in the Coldstream Guards, and was posted to the front in France in January 1916. He was promoted to Temporary Captain in March and became the Divisional Trench Mortar Officer. In December 1916 he was mentioned in despatches.
In July 1917 he won the Military Cross for bravery at Pilkem Ridge on the western front.
Later in that year he won the Distinguished Service Order for bravery at Fontaine Notre Dame, and was again mentioned in despatches.
In 1918 as a temporary Major he was a Chief Instructor of the (Royal) Household Brigade Officer Cadet Battalion and later was Officer Commanding the Brigade of Guards Officers Course of Instruction.
Bearing in mind that he was the son of a pharmacist from colonial Victoria, these achievements in the most prestigious Brigade in the British Army were remarkable, as was what followed.
Following the Armistice he became a Lieutenant Colonel and the Commanding Officer of the 3rd Coldstream Guards in the British Expeditionary Force Army of Occupation of Germany.
He returned to England when he was appointed Commandant of the first post-war Royal Military Naval and Air Force Tournament, Olympia London.
Subsequently he joined the Russian Relief Force. In his own words he was "ordered to join British Military Mission….to conform with local establishment ranked as Staff Captain and appointed acting assistant Military Secretary to the General Officer Commanding the British Military Mission Russia”. He served under General Holman assisting the White Russian forces of General Denikin in areas around Novorossiisk, Tsaritsyn, Taganrog and Rostov on Don. He was awarded the Russian Order of St Anne 3rd Class and at about the same time the Japanese Order of the Rising Sun.
This British Military Mission was withdrawn by the British Government in early 1920 after Treloar had, with his comrades, been evacuated from Novorossiisk just before its fall to the Red Army.
His sympathy with the anti-communist cause led him to relinquish his commission in the British Army and join the White Russian Army as a Polkovnik (Colonel). He served from September to November 1920 in fighting north of the Crimea, escaped by walking some 90 miles, and was evacuated to Constantinople in the last ship to leave Sebastopol before the entry of the Red Army in November 1920. He was awarded the Russian Orders of St Vladimir and St Stanislas, and was made a member of the Kuban Cossack Host.
In Turkey he commanded the Russian Refugee Camp run by the French and British at Tuzla south of Constantinople, and was reinstated as a Major in the British Army.
During service with General Harington, the Generalissimo of the Allied Occupation Forces, he visited the Greek front during the Greco-Turkish campaign and accompanied the Greek Army during later stages of its disastrous retreat.
In 1922 he visited Rodosto and other places in Thrace, and late in the year joined the League of Nations as a Commissioner for Refugees in Western Thrace. From that time of appointment he travelled widely in Thrace and to and from other countries until mid 1926 when the League of Nations closed its Greek operations for lack of funds. At that time the places still had their Turkish names such as Gumuljina and Dedeagatch. He apparently drew up the plans to resettle some million Greek agricultural refugees from Turkey, and develop small-scale industries for their employment. Some of the dates and details of his activities in this period are unclear. He was awarded the Gold Cross of the Greek Order of the Redeemer.
For a period thereafter he continued work on behalf of these refugees using his own funds, but then unfortunately was associated with some unsuccessful commercial ventures in Greece and/or Turkey which caused him to send his wife and children to England with their grandparents while he returned to Australia in 1929, only to strike the Great Depression.
After a lengthy period of financial hardship the family were reunited in Australia in 1935. In Perth Western Australia Major Treloar, as he was known, gained prominence in broadcasting on political and foreign affairs and was a pioneer of live open-air talk-back radio.
He pursued an active role in politics; being a foundation member of the Australian Party in New South Wales. He stood unsuccessfully as a candidate for the seat of Ashfield in Sydney NSW as a representative of the Australian Party, and as a candidate for Fremantle in WA as a representative of the Liberal Party, and later was employed by the Liberal Party in Western Australia in broadcasting and campaigning for some years before retiring in the mid 1950’s.
In retirement he was active as President of a branch of the Returned Soldiers League, and through association with hockey and cricket clubs well into his 80’s.

According to Legend ... Lil Russell nee Niemann, told Aileen Niemann (nee Keatch), many years ago that Elizabeth Jane Triplett or 'Granny Triplett' as she was affectionately known, had six children to John Dorman; she then married James Triplett who already had six children and they had six of their own. Lil Russell (nee Niemann) also told Aileen that Maria Triplett 'married a chinaman' in Adelaide, not something the family was proud of in those days. However the legend has it that the 'Chinaman' was Pak Poy who went on to become a highly respected and successful businessman in Adelaide.
Les Niemann in 2004, provided the six names for the Dorman children although he wasn't 100% certain regarding the details. He thought one Dorman child was killed by a water cart near the old Flying Doctor base east of Broken Hill. (But it has been suggested that the horse drowned not the child !! )

John Thomas Triplett appears to be the first of the Triplett generation found in Dubbo NSW. However there are individuals for whom I cannot find a connection to him or 'our' Tripletts from Moonta / Kapunda / Broken Hill.

Death
Triplett John William
Mrs J W H Triplett, Mr & Mrs (M /M) H Grose, loved husband, father John William Henry , 55 Gypsum St & M/M R J Hooper , M/M Barr, Mrs E.J. Triplett - Step mum, A Dorman, S R Dorman, Mrs E J Niemann (nee Dorman) (Step brothers & sisters).
He was 46 (should read 63 at 46 he'd have been born after his Mother's Death in 1884) - worked at Hoopers foundry, he was a cook on outback stations.
He was born in Broken Hill and been in Broken Hill 46 years.[not correct]
Subsequently John William Henry Triplett birth has been discovered on the SA Index . As Mrs E J Triplett was his 'Step mum' , this John William Henry must be the son of James Triplett & Elizabeth Cullum. He was born in 1869 at Tothills Creek Near Kapunda SA.
His age at death must have been 63 Yrs. He'd have moved to Broken Hill with his father James and his Step mother at the age of 17 yrs around 1886.
NSW Births Deaths and Marriages list his death as : 8256/1932 | Triplett John W E | James | Elizabeth | Broken Hill (note John W E which should be W H ... the evidence is that 'H ' is correct.

He may have married Miriam Lawson in 1922 : NSW BDM states: 3362/1922 | Triplett John W H | Lawson Miriam | Broken Hill | (Note: This means he would have been 53 Yrs old when he married. ) He was buried after 23 June 1932 in Broken Hill NSW. Grave : Broken Hill 1932 Intuition suggests there is something not correct in the details related to this John William Henry Triplett. There is a discrepancy related to his age on his death notice and yet to be a step son of E J Triplett and son to Elizabeth Cullum he had to be born prior to 1884, by James, spouse to both women. There is also a reference in his death notice to 'husband and father' . He may have been married previously or the reference is to step-children, children of Miriam Lawson. He married at 53 yrs. Miriam Lawson was 43 at the time of her marriage to John William Henry Triplett. Parents: JAMES TRIPLETT-674 and Elizabeth CULLAM (TRIPLETT)-4083.
