“How a soldier of German ancestry hid his identity to serve with the British Army . . . [Anderson] has pieced together Schwarz’s remarkable story” (The Daily Telegraph). It was a time of misguided loyalties. The First World War British Army, in a shameful act of patriotism, was withdrawing from the front line veterans who had a German name and posting them to a non-combatants regiment. At home, anti-German feeling was reaching fever pitch. However, one young man, the son of a German father, conspired to have the Army send him into battle. In doing so he became a hero. This is the story of the “German Tommy,” Walter Schwarz (alias Lieutenant Walter Lancelot Merritt, Military Cross and Bar, bearer of the king’s pardon), told in full for the first time after years of research in Australia and Britain. It reveals why and how others helped the young man from Queensland—an Australian Army deserter—survive in an atmosphere that was poisonous at home and in battle for those of German blood who were, nevertheless, like Schwarz, loyal to king and country. Ken Anderson has gone behind the accepted facts to claim how official documents were altered and members of a secret society lied and swore false testimony to help Schwarz, acting on their oath to help a fellow member in distress. The book offers an insight into the way in which people of German origin were treated in Australia and Britain during the First World War, as well as how Freemasonry, at its peak at that time, helped men of humble backgrounds improve their status in life.

While growing up, I received many messages regarding what "we" don't do (e.g., scuba dive, fly planes, feed baby tigers, zipline through the forest, etc.). These messages always left me questioning why "we" were limited in how we could experience the world. Often, when I asked those around me what their logic was, I was greeted with the following response: "They Say We Don't." "They" referring to some person or people no one could identify, but whose messaging rang clear that people like me belong in a box.This book, "They Say We Don't," pushes back against the notion that "we" should be limited in any way. "We" don't have to move with the crowd, follow the rules that they have laid out for us, or restrict our imaginations. There is power in thinking BIG. If you think it and believe it, you can ACHIEVE IT.
