Sorry if I have misquoted you, Dr Tillett - but is this not your 
claim here ? 

http://user.cyberlink.ch/~koenig/dplanet/html/oto_au.htm

"The original, pre-Crowleyan Order had, however, been brought to 
Australia around 1908 by Vyvyan Deacon, who became the first Grand 
Master for the Order in Australia, having received his authority from 
the Outer Head, Theodor Reuss."

Your name and address appear at the foot.  

It does not say 'it was claimed' in this document, ie, it is not 
referring to another claim made elsewhere.  

The way the document reads, it seems the assertion of a succession 
from Reuss to Deacon is being made directly, here.  

Or is this information false or has it been altered in some way?

Regards 

Ben
