Notes: Son of Charles Parry Martyr and Isabella Martyr. With 'A' Company, 15th Battalion, during its attack on the positions known locally as 'Circular Trench', and officially as 'Park Lane': 'At the very outset 'B' Company unfortunately lost their three officers. 'A' Company's commander, Captain Corser, had covered about half the distance when he fell with a machine gun bullet in the stomach. On the way back to the line Corser saw and spoke to Lieutenant Arnold who was lying wounded and lying in a shell hole awaiting aid from stretcher bearers. Shortly after Corser left Arnold a shell landed in the same hole, killing Arnold outright. Apparently the only point where the enemy's trenches were penetrated at this juncture was where Lieutenant Fred Martyr with one or two of his men crossed the objective. He fell mortally wounded and his body was recovered two days later.' (Chataway p124, 125). Died as Second Lieutenant, 15th Battalion, aged 32. Name commemorated on the Brisbane, Queensland, memorial, and on the Villers-bretonneux Memorial, Somme, France.
