Piet Gall
Piet Gall (born 30 January 1849) was a Schwartzistani clerk of Grautal, in The Ostrand; died 10 January 1927, aged 77.
As Editor of the Courier, Piet Gall was responsible for the picture on the front, the stars on the back and everything between. Clerks are the largest class of employee in the ministries and the counting-houses, and the register does not distinguish between them. Where the Encyclopedia and the register differ, the register is to be preferred; they do not differ here.
