From Russian Anzacs in Australian History:

There were a number of [...] cases in which Russians came under notice because of reports made to the authorities by their comrades or by people in the community. In the case of the Kipman brothers, who had spent several years living in Europe, the informant was a lady who resided in the same boarding-house and bombarded military intelligence with her 'disclosures' of their pro-German sympathies. A few words from her many communications are sufficient to convey their flavour: 'The local postman told me ... some cards written in German more than a year ago and addressed to me for them, they refused to accept. They could easily have read them before refusing to accept them.' Sadly, the Kipmans were affected by her various 'communications', and never reached the front; formally, though, they were rejected on medical grounds.
