• General note
  
  The Christian name was earlier interpreted as Robert (i.e. before 1945). A further examination in December 1966, including viewing under ultra-violet and infra-red lights, showed that it could as well be interpreted as Alfred. No information could be found about Robert Bock, but Alfred Bock, artist and photographer, was the son of Thomas Bock
