Description
Portrait of 28 Private Clarence Landle Littlefield from Concord West, NSW, who enlisted on 20 August 1914 as Clarence Leslie Chandler and was an original member of the 2nd Battalion. Pte Chandler landed at Anzac Cove on 25 April 1915; he was killed in action on 2 May, aged 20, and buried in the Walker's Ridge Cemetery. When the Graves Registration Unit commenced their work after the war in the 1920s his grave could not be found. Among the 92 men buried in this cemetery, 18 Australian and eight New Zealand soldiers, for whom there was evidence of burial in the cemetery, including Pte Chandler, are now commemorated by special memorial tablets.
