Death Plaque a.k.a Memorial Plaque
Service No: 517
Unit No: 2
Corps/Service: Infantry
Country: Australia
I am seeking the Memorial Plaque (also known as a Dead Man's Penny') of Private Richard HARRIS of the 2nd Infantry Battalion, AIF. It appears that this name "Richard Harris" is in fact an alias. His correct name is stated to be Joseph DOYLE; although why he would enlist under this name is not known. The First World War Embarkation Roll indicates that he left Sydney on the 18th of October, 1914 aboard HMAT Suffolk. This soldier landed at Gallipoli on the 25th of April, 1915 (first day lander) and sadly, he was posted as 'missing' by the 2nd of May. This posting was eventually and officially changed to "Killed In Action" after a court of inquiry. The Commonwealth War Graves records (CWGC) indicate that he has no known grave and his name is recorded on the Lone Pine Memorial at Gallipoli. Any assistance in helping me to recover this missing Death Plaque would be greatly appreciated.
