His mother Anna added the following detail to the Roll of Honour Circular she completed for the Australian War Museum: " Pte O J Niemann was reported missing , no definite information has ever been accorded me!! Officers of the 10th Battalion have said he was a brave soldier and as such he must have fought well"
