In August 1913 Lottie's wedding was reported in their local paper the 'Thames Star': ... The wedding was solemnised at St John's Church, Waihi (Rev. Cleary officiating), of Miss Lottie George, daughter of Mr W. H. George, of Waihi, and formerly assistant at the Parawai School, Thames, and Mr R. W. Duschka, of Waihi. The bridesmaid wore creme satin and the usual veil and orange blossoms, and was attended by her sister Mary as bridesmaid, who was attired in a salmon pink Russian costume and hat to match. Both carried bouguets, the artistic work of Miss J. Scott of Thames. Mr H. Langdon was best man. The happy couple left by motor for Rotorua, where the honeymoon is being spent, the bride travelling in a smart navy tailormade costume. Many Thames residents were among the guests

In April 1918 Fred was called up for military duty in the 1st Ballot in the Second Division for the Hauraki Military District.
In June 1918 his employers, the Waihi Gold Mine Co. Ltd, appealed and he was granted exemption (as were a great deal of their mining employees) because the Government had indictated that the supply of gold won in New Zealand must be kept up as much as possible
