PLC Archivist Shannon Lovelady learned in early June 2013 that the exact number of Western Australian men who died at Gallipoli is not known, but estimated at between 900-2500. In preparation for the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign, she invited WAGS WA Special Interest Group and others to collaborate on a project to determine the exact number of deaths.

Included will be those who were born in, or enlisted from, Western Australia or who spent the majority of their lives here but happened to be in another state when they enlisted.

The list will include those missing and later determined dead by Board of Inquiry, with no known grave (like the 37 10th Light Horse men who went missing in action on 8 August 1915). It will also include those who died as a result of their wounds received at Gallipoli (even if hospitalised and died elsewhere), and those who died at Gallipoli from enteric fever and self inflicted GSW.

If you have information about a soldier who you think may qualify for inclusion in this list please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

We would like people to send a photograph of a memorial from your local community or school, or provide information and a photograph of a family member who may have died during, or as a result of the Gallipoli Campaign.

We have compiled a checklist and submissions form for keeping track of the Gallipoli Dead from Western Australia, both of which are currently available on the WAGS web site but will be moved to this website in due course; see WAGS web site under the Submissions page.

The full list of Gallipoli Dead from Western Australia is shown below on our List Page: Gallipoli Dead from Western Australia - The List.
