The identities of some of the men in this rare photo are outlined on the next page . This image is held by Conradt family descendants in Australia and may be the only one surviving of this group shot of the Concordia Club anniversary gathering . Press reports indicated that there were 90 guests in attendance but only about half are shown here . Franz Conradt was the chairman of the Concordia in 1913 and appears to be the man sitting to the right of the man in the dark jacket ( with legs crossed ). The men wearing small fabric medallions were founding members in 1893 .

The governor and his young friend and assistant were often to be seen together . For example , on 8 June 1913 the Concordia Club , in Apia , celebrated its 20th anniversary with a day of festivities ( see photo above ). Governor Schultz , just back from a trip to Germany , presented a new club flag and congratulated members on their contribution to the community since the club ’ s founding in 1893 ( the Concordia was a community service organisation as well as a social and cultural centre ). Dr Schultz is the short man standing about 6th from the left . Directly behind him on the left ( top of head only ) is Fatu Frost .
