Bob,

Possible set here. Pte Mullen may have died of wounds received at Gallipoli. The AIF record states he was the first Australian soldier to die in England.
(think I've heard that quoted before somewhere of someone?)

Cannot check his record at NAA, which would tell, as it is running slow at present.

Pte Hugh James MULLEN 14th Bn. 19th May 1915 Birmingham (Lodge Hill) Cemetery
Pte David MULLEN 2nd Pioneers 13th October 1917 Aeroplane Cemetery

Got through finally. On page 35: Died of wounds received in action at Gallipoli.

Hi all, and late response to this as recently joined. Yes, Hugh and David are brothers (my G-uncles) and yes according to newspaper reports from the period - both UK and AU based Hugh was the first Aussie to pass from wounds recieved at Gallipoli, and apparently, recieveing a state funeral in recognition of that.

Hi Bob,

You may already have these?

1)  Sec Lt John Rainbow, 1/6th Bn Manchester Regt, who was Kia at Gallipoli 7/8/15.  Age 19.
2)  Lieut George Rainbow, L.N.L.R. att'd 2/4th Bn South Lancs. Regt, who was Kia near Cambrai 8/10/18.  Age 20.

They were brothers and came from Castleton near Rochdale, Lancs.

Hi Bob Just a small update regarding

Driver CHARLES WHITFIELD
33859 69th Bty  Royal Field Artillery  who's details I posted earlier in the thread
(and his brother John William who died at home)

I have come across a couple of pages of Charles's service files

Whilst he may have seen service on Gallipoli he died of Bronco pneumonia  on 25th October 1918 at Deolali near Bombay India

so Charles is not strictly a Gallipoli casualty

regards Ray
