Officers for whom, despite over 30 years of research,
we have never been able to locate a photo:
MARSHALL, 2nd Lieutenant John Edmund. 6th Battalion, AIF.
TIPPET, 2nd Lieutenant Harold Freeman. 24th Battalion, AIF.
If anyone has any information on where we might find a photo
of either of these officers, we'd love to hear from you.
Congratulations to high-school student Elijah Douglas of Doomadgee, a remote community,
who was one of five winners of the Premier's Anzac Day Prize in 2013.

The Soldiers |
'With the last rays of the sun, I was staring through the periscope for any sign of the living among the bodies.
Within a few yards of my periscope lay a tale telling how furiously both sides died.
The Australian's bayonet is sticking, rusty and black, six inches out of the Turk's back.
One hand is gripping the Turk's throat, while even now you can see the Turk's teeth fastened through what was the boy's wrist.
The Turk's bayonet is jammed through the boy's stomach and one hand is clenched, claw-like, across the Australian's face.
I wonder will they fight if there is an after world.'
The records are divided between eight pages in order to allow faster loading.
These are Page A-B, Page C-D, Page E,F,G, Page H,I,J, Page K,L,M, Page N,O,P,Q,R, Page S-T and Page U,V,W,Y . Navigation within and between these pages is straightforward. Clicking on the asterisks (***) between record summaries will take you to the top of the current alphabetical section.
At the top of each of these pages are two photographs. Clicking on either of these will take you to the summary of that soldier's record. There are also other photographs on each of the pages located above the name of the officer to whom they refer.
| Epitaphs
There are epitaphs from the gravestones at Gallipoli included at the beginning of each page, and at the beginning of each alphabetical section, usually - but not always - related to an officer within that section. Naturally, if an officer has no known grave, then he has no headstone, and no inscription. Further, not all marked graves have inscriptions; in fact the majority do not. No New Zealand inscriptions are included because there are none to record. The New Zealand people, at the end of the Great War, were apparently not offered the opportunity to submit epitaphs. The only exception to this is in the case of 'special memorials' (headstones of soldiers BELIEVED to be buried in the cemetery). In the case of soldiers of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, and of other forces where none other was submitted, this epitaph is: |

A project of this nature is never truly 'complete'. There is always more information somewhere; a name overlooked, a photo that turns up which can be added; details of family, and so on. Should anybody have any information on an Anzac who died at, or because of their service at, Gallipoli, we would appreciate hearing from you.
