Hi Annie,

E.L.Julian appears in the publication 'Our Heroes' pages 128/129, of which I am sure you will be aware. There is a short biography and also a small portrait. He also appears in 'The Pals at Suvla Bay' pages 202/203, similar details with a slightly better portrait. He also receives a brief mention as being amongst the killed, on page 79:-

"--the 7th Dublins had a big casualty list of over one hundred including Major Tippet and Lieutenant Julian. 'D' Company lost twenty-two altogether."

I am not sure that this will tell you anything that you do not already know, but I hope it's of some use. If you need any expansion of these details, please let me know.

Regards,

Robert

Hi Annie,

He is on the 1911 census as living in Dublin, Barrister at Law, with his Mother and two servants.

Just for some background information.

Thank you all very much ! ... I knew about the books but I don't have copies of them unfortunately !

I have been told that there was a photograph of Lt E J Julian in The War Illustrated of 15 January 1916 .... but I don't have that either !!

Thanks again though for your help and the background information !

There is quite a lot about him in "Wigs and Guns. Irish Barristers in the Great War", by Anthony P. Quinn, Dublin, Four Courts Press, 2006. (ISBN 978-1-85182-935-4). There is also a photo of his boat crew of 1902. If you send me your e-mail address in a PM I can send a PDF of the relevant pages.

He also appears on two memorials in St. Anne's Church, Dublin: the Great War Memorial and the Julian and Cullinan Memorial.

BTW, I have an original copy of "Our Heroes" with a better version of the same photo as above. I can send you that, too.
