Arthur William Challenger states his previous Service as “2 years 11 A.I.R. left to work in the country”
EMB: 18th Oct 1914
Records show that after the initial landing at Gallipoli on the 5th May 1915, Pte. Challenger is noticed missing during the first opportunity any unit had to conduct a roll call. An enquiry into his whereabouts a year later officially confirms that he was killed sometime during the landing on the 25th April 1915.
“I visited many of the 12th Batt. Men when they returned and made enquiries but all I could learn was that he did land safely, but no one seemed to have seen him after 10 o’clock on the morning of the landing April 25th 1915. From the information I received they evidently landed very early in the morning and all those interviewed were positive that they never saw him later than 10 am. I regret I cannot give you more information, no one mentioned any particular spot as having been the last place where they saw my husband”.
Killed in action 25th April 1915 Gallipoli.
