michaeldr Posted 18 September , 2006 Share Posted 18 September , 2006 Mark, Thanks for sharing that with us; it's always nice to see original documents Are you using this for research? As I note that there are several differences with the entries as they appear in R. W. Walker's "To what end did they die? Officers Died at Galllipoli" Most notably, what I originally read as "2nd Lt D. S. Wallis" can, I feel, only be 2nd Lt O. S. Whaley. These differences are probably the result of later corrections to the lists which were made in the heat of battle You may have already checked this, but others which caught my eye are: Pretyman died probably on 12th Aug Pilleau KiA 10th Aug Hellyer DoW 22nd Aug Hayes KiA 10th Aug Bell KiA 10th Aug Martyr Capt. J. F., DoW 11th Aug (buried at sea) Richardson KiA 11th Aug Lewis KiA 12th Aug Eastwood KiA 1th Aug Hog (only one 'g') DoW 20th Aug (burried Pieta Milit. Cem. Malta) Blake A. J. (not 'G') W., KiA 21st Aug Lewis KiA 27/28th Aug Hickson KiA 6th to 12th Aug Willington KiA 6th or 10th Aug Griffith KiA 10th Aug D'arcy-Irvine C. (not 'E') W., KiA 6th to 12 Aug (E & O E) Regards Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhifle Posted 18 September , 2006 Author Share Posted 18 September , 2006 Hi Micheal, I am collecting what ever I can on the 5th Connaught Rangers. I hadn,t looked at R.W.
