Description: Anton Vogt was conceived in 1914 just before his parents returned to Norway from Argentina. His father, Volrath Vogt, had gone to Argentina as a young man of 20 in 1905. There, among other things, he worked as gaucho, herding cattle on the Pampas. In 1912 he married Margot Herlofsen, another Norwegian in Argentina, and in 1913 they had their first child, Sito, Anton's sister. Anton was born in Norway where his parents lived during World War I. His father worked as a business man supplying chemical products to the British Government. After the war the family moved to London where Volrath established what was at first a successful business in the boom of the immediate post war years. When the business failed he moved with his family to the Waterberg district, 200 miles north of Johannesburg in what is today Botswana. There during the early 1920s he managed a 200,000 acre cattle ranch on the edge of the Kalahari desert for a Norwegian consortium When this venture came to an end in 1926 the family came to New Zealand and ran a small shop at Bucklands Beach, Auckland. Anton and his sister worked at various jobs during their late teenage years and largely supported the family financially. In 1931 Anton got a job with the Western Electric Company and they sent him to Hamilton where he Lived for most of the 1930s.
