From Russian Anzacs in Australian History:

The Lithuanian Kazimir Valukevicius enlisted as Kazis Walinkevic but by the time of his discharge his name had transformed into Charles Volukawytz, and in 1924 an officer from Base Records had to undertake a whole investigation to change these apparently two separate individuals back into one!
