Douglas Grant (1885 - 4 December 1951) was an Aboriginal Australian soldier, draughtsman, public servant and factory worker.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/grant-douglas-6454 )〕 During World War I he was captured by the German army and held as a prisoner of war at Wittendorf, and later at Wunsdorf, Zossen, near Berlin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/scripts/Imagine.asp )〕
==Early life and career==
Grant was probably born in 1885 in north Queensland near Yarrabah. In 1887, as an orphaned infant, he was fostered by taxidermists Robert Grant and E.J. Cairn, who were in the region on a collecting expedition for the Australian Museum. The baby's parents were apparently killed in an undocumented skirmish.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/53385897 )〕 He was renamed Douglas and taken to Lithgow, New South Wales, to live with Robert Grant's parents. Douglas was later adopted by Robert Grant and his wife and lived with them and their son Henry at their home in Annandale, New South Wales.〔
Grant attended public school and trained as a draughtsman, working for Mort's Dock & Engineering in Sydney. In 1913 he was employed as a wool classer at Belltrees, near Scone, New South Wales.
