gerrymurray2010@live.com Posted 23 September , 2013 Share Posted 23 September , 2013 Hello Everyone; I may be on a completely hopeless mission with this enquiry but here goes; Can anyone advise if a document exists which lists the names and Unit history for 'Officers' killed in action during the Gallipoli campaign as I am attempting to find any information at all about two men in particular; Arthur Fitzgerald and Decourcey Wheeler Any advice or assistance would be greatly recieved.

kenmorrison Posted 23 September , 2013 Share Posted 23 September , 2013 Any information on Rank, Regiment, date of death, etc? The only Arthur Fitzgerald on SDGW was a Sgt in Coldstreams. Is the second man's first name Decourcey? Is it double barreled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonmate Posted 23 September , 2013 Share Posted 23 September , 2013 CWGC has no entries for these names for 1915 at Gallipoli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 23 September , 2013 Share Posted 23 September , 2013 "To What End Did They Die? Officers Died at Gallipoli" by R W Walker published in 1985 covers this subject but interestingly neither are mentioned. MG Any more info on which units they were serving in? The only Wheeler mentioned is Major Augustus Henry Wheeler 1/6th Bn RWF KIA 10th Aug 1915. I have Officers Died in the Great War (Parts I and II) which is listed by unit. Any hints on which units might help you establish what you are after. MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
